The Ladybugs imported two weeks ago onto the Bhut Jolokia have successfully hatched a brood of “young ’uns” to continue the assault on the aphids.
Unfortunately, the aphids have spread to my small starter pepper plants. I did relocate two larvae onto the two worst infected peppers on the plant shelf.. hopefully they will eat up all of the aphids there. I guess if they don’t finish them off, I can spray with Insecticidal soap.
Eat ’em up boys!
