Yucca Pest

Post by foxd »

I would like to identify a pest thae turns up on my Yuccas. It is a tiny black bug with a red head. It sucks the sap and multiplies like crazy. I can treat it with insecticide, but I would like to identify it.

The legal issues that will arise when the undead walk the earth are legion, and addressing them all is well beyond what could reasonably be accomplished in this brief Essay. Indeed, a complete treatment of the tax issues alone would require several volumes.

I had them get on my cacti once I am going to look up the name right now but I just hit them with some malathion and they disappeared.
I couldn't find it but I have fought the battle with them they are fortunately easy to keep under control.

ocimum_nate, what a coincidence, I hit them with malathion too.
I also haven't found any reference that identifies them, but I have found other people wondering what they are.
