| they are the size of aphids, but they are light tan color.
do aphids come in that color? I've only seen black aphids. A couple of lower leaves are curling, otherwise the plant looks great and I have blossoms. It is a Ramapo and in a big pot. thanks for any ideas, if you know what this is, or if you can direct me to a site with pictures of tomato bugs so I can identify it. or maybe it is a good bug! |

| Aphids come in many colors. If they are tan & resemble small papery blimps stuck to the leaf, biological control is active at your place. |

| they do look little little blimps! what does that mean that biological control is active at my place? |

| A good guy (actually, girl) laid a single egg in each aphid. The egg hatched inside the aphid, the larva (youngster) ate until fully developed, then left the comforts of a well-protected "home." In the final stage, you can see the small round exit hole at the end of the aphid. |

| Does it make sense to buy ladybugs? You can buy them at garden centers. |
