Hi gang I'm confused about a bug that I THOUGHT was helping me to keep aphid population under control, but now I'm not so sure. Like Glenda asked of Dorothy--"are you a good witch or a bad witch?" but these bugs don't answer me! They are flying (beatles mayhaps?) kinda similar to ladybugs in shape, but yellow with black spots. They've been hanging around ONLY the Red Savinas... nary a one near the hungarian wax or the jalopenos... figures!! The Pepper Pest Management page I found at http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/selectnewpest.peppers.html had some pics, but nothing there looks like these things! Does anybody know what they might be? BTW I am in St Louis Missouri area if it makes a difference..... The Savs and I thank you from the heart :) Valerie -- "Would you not like to be Sitting on top of the world with your legs hanging free" djm Valerie / Breeze..... whatever!! seabreeze@concentric.net ICQ# 3953329 Visit Breeze's Spot on the Web: http://www.Geocities.com/Yosemite/1495 HEY! don't forget the Hot Spot: http://www.Geocities.com/Yosemite/1495/peppers.html
