About what Lawndude84 said about metallic bugs, they're on my plants. They been there for about 5 months and no damage. All they do is just sit at the trap's head and drink nectar, that's all what they do. I tried blowing them away, it worked. But they keep coming back. I just leave them alone, cause they been there for a long time and did not do any damage. But i expect them to die during dormancy. But what do you think these bugs are?

Are they small beetles or what? What color?

A photo would help; I don't suppose you happen to have a digital camera with a macro setting do you?

These do sound to me like a flea beetle. They eat holes in your plants! Read the thread ive made for more help. Next time dont blow them, spray and leave the to die!

i cant take a pic becuase they're tiny! :( But they look really harmless and didnt do anything. I watered the VFT before, and the bugs drowned in the water. I guess i need water to kill them.
