Lol..my mom gave me some flowers from her garden days ago and last night I noticed this bugs on them ..ahhh means all this time there been on the flowers in my room...😖
I still think it's amazing that they're born with fully-formed babies inside of them. I first learned this when I was growing crops and they made my life a living hell, but I can't pretend I don't have this weird respect for them and their efficiency
They're also livestock for ants which drink their honeydew so that's something to be aware of- essentially ants can feed on their excreta And movements of herds can feed the ladybeetles
I was sitting in a field one day as a kid, and when I stood up my entire leg was green and full of them. I still remember how much it freaked me out Lmao!
I appreciate that this knowledge is shared in a practical way. Every approach depends on climate and situation...this is one of the best things I have learned since working in gardens. Thank you.
Given their ridiculous reproductive rate I wonder if it would be possible to culture them as feeder insects for various terrarium pets like geckoes or frogs?
Yes they are bred as feeder insects for amphibians like dart frogs and I will be culturing them as soon as I find a source for my Aneides lugubris and A.aeneus. They look like the perfect size for them at 1.5"
Best Entomologist ... Plzz try to Make videos on Agricultural Entomology insects and in HD quality like DEEP LOOK channel of RU-vid.. It would be awesome... Keep it Up Guys...👌👌👍
Rody 1309 exactly they fucked up my peaches there’s honeydew inside almost all of em. I’m still gonna eat em with peach cobbler but still it coulda been a lot better had these lil niggas not fucked em up 😂
Have you ever come across a horntail caterpillar? Look them up...They are extremely fascinating! You're supposed to kill them, but I don't because their lives are so sad the way it is. They're hard to see because they blend in with the plant so well, so I'll tell my husband i found one, but won't tell him where 😁
get *L *A* *D* *Y* *B* *U* *G* *S* (they are *BORN* predator for aphids) (if you saw something blue with tentacle-like things on it's back that eats aphids. it's an ladybug larvae.)
No, GROSS VOMIT DIARRHEA UGLY YUCK NASTY FUNGUS MILDEW EWWW GROSS RAT SHIT HORSE SHIT HUMAN FECES BOOGERS AIDS GREEN VOMIT EAT IT SHIT IT IUT EAT AGAIN AND REPEAT, level of gross.
How do aphids (specifically Aphis Nerii) get to your healthy plant in the first place? From the ground or the air? Do they fly? I want to know if I can control them by putting garlic around the roots.
I just found millions of them on my organic green leaf lettuce I bought from Whole Foods 🤢 I didn’t throw my lettuce . I simply washed them away with my veggie spray and water. My lettuce looked healthy and I’d rather eat organic lettuce than poisonous chemical filled lettuce. I just hope the growers learn how to control them because I have never seen so many in my produce as I did today 🥴
The first aphid we see at the beginning don't have wings you can see a little stick thing sticking out that's a stunted wing meaning it use to be in an ant colony that milked it of honey dew and cared for it but it escaped or it could still be in an ant colony herd you learned a fact 😃😜
Thank you for this brilliant video. It has allowed me positive identification of the pests murdering my habenero's. Disgusting VILE little creatures. I knew they could make babies before their final Transformation. That explains their ability to make level 10 infestations in one week. I'd like to add my findings for anyone who needs to know. They appear to have their eggs laid on the inside of new nodes, the pits of the plant. I've seen them In the Growth medium as well, the rockwool cubes. They can live in both but Succeed dramatically on the leaves of the plant. some of them are exploring types, They'll crawl to a new plant before needing wings, Some will climb to the highest point of the plant and hang out to remain out of sight from clusters. They typically operate in clusters, I don't usually see just one unless it is nearing it's final transformation. They will be on the underside of leaves as well as the top. They prefer the leaves over the rockwool, as you can see in the video, They can mate and make babies before reaching adulthood spreading the beasts all around. They loved my habenero plant, They swarmed my cherry tomatoes, they tried to survive on the lemon leaves but it was difficult for them. They don't do too well on rose bushes, but they will cluster at the flower head specifically if there is a new bud. I found them typically on the underside. They don't seem to like Germaniums, I have not found any bug trying to take those out. Rose leaves seem to be mostly safe, They seem to avoid anything Waxy or strange tasting. They Murder a mint plant as soon as they find it. but have limited interest in basil. They avoided rosemary like a plague. According to this video they are born pregnant with asexual Cloning Abilities. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vrzalLssomg.html How do I kill them? I set the whole node on fire burning them to to death and then remove it from the plant. The fliers I have used YEllow traps to control. The ones in the medium, I put all of the dirt and coco plants outside, but my rockwool hydroponics plants I bath in the sink with dawn soap and let soak for hours, Shake it in the water, Then Hard rinse with my faucet on all sides. If the plant is too large to reach the sink, I use my RO water and fill it with the brim to drown the rockwool surfaces and keep them that way. To save my roses I put on latex gloves with dawn soap and water at the fingers, I crushed them best I could without hurting the flower head, The I Spared the Flower head and leaves off with the same faucet. I hope any of this helps Happy hunting, Just remember to KILL THEM ALL!
I once had a small problem with a bunch of them on one of my little cuttings, but bringing in a ladybird really helped and I got a few cool shots of it munching on those things too :)
I remember when i was younget i was climbing a tree and i suddenly looked at the leaves and there were tons of orange ones nd I've been traumatized even since
They gather near new growth around the edges of branches and especially the tops of plants. They tend to gather on the underside of leaves clustered around the 'center stem' of the leaf. Ants are also commonly found tending to them.
squish em. (be sure that if any Formica rufa ants are nearby do not or ya will get attacked by shootie bum bums :P. they are greedy farmers for honeydew. and rufa can squirt formic acid.)
@@MakeKrylonGreatAgain- ffs, get someone to prescribe a very strong sedative for you VERY soon: you sound like you're about to pop a major vein in your head... sheesh!
Ugh.... the true bane of my existence (and my gardens!) for the past 7 years! Nothing has worked to remove them... NOTHING! The numbers only appeared to dwindle a tich when a mass horde of Lacewings and Butterflies decided to move in. Oh yeah, and the !@#Earwigs too. Aphids have disfigured & killed too many Sunflowers, Columbines, etc to count.
That almost made me puke up my mandarine!! I crush them with my fingers.. everything else is too hard and takes too long.. I also have some small spiders which don't spin webs but love to snack on these things.
Here is a wonderful tip, it worked for me: get a sprayer and coconut soap, use 1 spoon of soap for each of liter of water, and then spray it all over these insects, and you are done, you will see, they will all die! It's easy and you will gonna get rid of them once for all.
guigovr= It turns out that the aphids were the least of my concerns.. loopers and cabbage moth completely destroyed my mature crop in a mater of days even though everyday I picked them off eh leaves.. but they were so aggressive over night they would destroy the plants.. pissed me right off.. there are so many bugs and predators its impossible to grow anything.. everything my friend and i grow ends up as bug food as soons as we can grow it.. suburban growing isn't what it used to be.. tomatoes are still fine, spinach and strawberries seem to be resilient.. every thing else gets eaten before it even gets a chance to grow..
