need help identifying bugs in garden
6 years ago
These bugs are all over the weeds in our lawn, and produce a reddish stain when squished. I think they’re good, as they stick to the weeds and haven’t attacked the grass. At least, I hope so.
Does anyone, know what they are and are they actually killing the weeds?
