Friend or foe that is the question



What’s going on , I noticed these bugs on my pepper plants I can’t tell if they are milkweed or leaf footed :thinking: I’ve seen some pictures online And it seems as if they contradict each other! Some show the baby leaf footed with leaf footed shaped legs and some don’t. Same with the milkweed they do not have them. But they show pictures that some of them have black spots on their back and some don’t Any help would be appreciated

More than welcome my friend.
May take a lil bit for them to get back but they will.
Others will be along too I’m sure. Just can’t remember who else knows bugs right off.
Best of luck.

Harmful to plants.
Eliminate them.
Something of a rule of thumb…
Predators typically are single and anything in groups are eating the plants.

MY RULE: if it moves, it dies. Exceptions being Hummingbirds and bees. I just watch the HB hit the feeder for 14 draws and a 2 second perch. Gazing outdoors, while grow sleeps.

They gotta go. I don’t grow outside, but if I did, I’d buy a praying mantis egg pod and tie one on every plant I had. Those things eat everything. The good, the bad, and the ugly. If it moves, they eat it.

Thanks, Nice to have pest irradication workers for cheap, maybe.

My wife bought some last year, and she started them to early. Hundreds of the little shits hatched. It was amazing. They give you a sack with a window to hatch indoors if you want. We put them outside, then a cold snap came and killed them I’m sure.
