| I hate seeing those black caterpillars on my impatiens.
They make the impatiens look terrible and shabby. I was lucky that I was wearing gloves when I was prunning them because one of them sprayed my glove with a greenish liquid, I guess if it touched the skin it would probably make it itchy or develop a rash. How does everyone else deal with these nasties ? |

| CCChad You may want to try insecticidal Soap these can be friendly to the enviroment. And the green stuff was more than likely poo to distract you from eating it :) Be careful of oil sprays Impatiens dont like them to much they can cause tip burn. Derick |
