3rd & 4th instar nymphs |
Lady Stickfigure banished the plant from the house and my reply could only be, "Yes, your Linesse." I promptly curtsied and left with a pitiful looking poinsettia out to the patio. Its fate is hanging on the edge of doom.
At right is a drawing I made of the little creatures. I compared them with some online pics and they look pretty close.
That plant sat out on the patio all summer last year and really took off. But when I brought it into the house the flies went to work unopposed. I figure they must have been prayed upon outside to such an extent that they could not do much damage.
I gave it another dose of the pepper/soap concoction and left the plant outside to see what happens.
