| Hi ... i've been growing some sedum indoors for succulent terrariums, and some of them are being destroyed by these tiny bugs that are the size of a period on this page. It's so small that at first, i thought it was a form of powdery mildew and sprayed with neem oil. Unfortunately they're back. This time, I took some close up photos with a macro lens.
Can anyone identify these insects? Thanks,
|

| LOL! Thanks, Jean001a ... it always happens. I search and search and come up empty. Then, a few minutes after posting this plea for help, i find the darned thing. I've got the affected succulents well-sprayed with neem oil. Then, i'll apply marathon to them, as well as other plants as a preventative measure. Zero tolerance for bugs! :) cheers, |
