Hi there! I have a pest problem. Haven’t seen this kind of aphid before, it’s got a skinny long body and dries out my plant leaves. I thought it might be spider mites, but I’ve had those before and I see no webbing. Just finished a fungus gnat infestation—any clues on how to manage these little guys? Tysm!
Can’t see too close up but looks like thrips 😬, I’ll leave it to the experts to deal with that. I’ve heard systemic granules helps but other than that they are hardy little pests
