Unknown Insects On Stem of Gerbera Daisy

10 years ago

For the past 5 days my wife and I have noticed these bugs starting to attach themselves to the stems of our Gerbera Daisies. I believe they are starting to kill the flowers themselves, I've noticed 2 of the flowers have wilted and died within 24-48 hours of the insects arriving. I'm still relatively new to flowers and gardening and am unsure if this insect is bad for the plant or not as well as how to get rid of them. You may need to save the image to zoom in the get a better view of the insects themselves.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Regards
Michael
