Bugs on trees. I think they like the bass.

But what the hell is this thing???? Hanging from the bottom of the glass table and caught in a spider web too. WTF is it?

Need recommendations for ants on a privet. I was told tobacco juice but they don’t seem to care.

Big ants or little ants?

Big ants look for aphids and get rid of those first (strong jet of water, or manually).

Little ants I'm not sure (I've noticed some on mine lately), maybe sprinkle some cinnamon around the tree.

Why are you worried about ants? they dont actually damage plants ,though they could be tending sapsucking bugs like aphids or scale insects which do feed on plants.

There is an entire colony in the soil. Not just a couple ants.

Easy enough to flood them out then by submerging the pot in water a few hours!!

They just run up the tree and stay in the foliage but I can give it a try.

Yes it is. I guess I was thinking NZ would have a different name for it but now that I think about it more...that would be silly.

New rule for me. Think first then ask! lol

Leafhopper on my sea hibiscus. A pest of subtle beauty and hard to take a pic of, it kept moving to the other side of the stem... I really like the pattern and colors they have in their wings.
