Hey everyone,
After some Googling, I'm pretty sure a bunch of leaf hopper larvae have made a nice little home in my VFT (put little red crosses in pic where they be chilling) and while I am watching them grow up and chilling on this one particular trap (there are a few more on others), I don't want them staying there.
I've noticed some other things too, like this damp substance that I circled on one of the petioles. I thought it was water, but it didn't evaporate over night, so no idea what that is. I also noticed that a baby trap opening up doesn't seem to look like the smooth semicircle I am used to seeing. Can this sometimes just be regular trap development?
Has anyone had any luck with good old sticky yellow fly paper in enticing these bugs off their plants??? I just ordered some, but I want a good idea of how optimistic I should be ha ha.
Pretty sure these are leaf hopper larvae because they appeared after a tiny green one was on there, which I am assuming lay eggs somewhere.
Thanks for any feedback!
