While checking the the chiles in the garden the other day,
which I do several times a day, I found that some type of
bug had laid eggs on the chacoense. Not on the leaves,
but on the as yet not quite opened petals of one of the
flowers. There were 10-15 small, brown eggs just at the tip
of the flower, preventing it from opening. I removed the
flower and squished the eggs to be safe, only then realizing
that had I put the eggs in a jar with a leaf or two, I could have
waited to see if they were from a beneficial type and then
released them back to the garden if they turned out to be
good guys. I know it's not much of a description, but does
anybody know of a bug that normally lays its eggs like this?
Scott... should have been thinking ahead... KCK
