White flies!
I snapped a photo of this little bugger inside a ring of its own eggs. Pretty peeved this bug is on a bunch of my Euphorbias! This one is leucnoneura. Anyone have recommendations to eradicate these monsters?

Re: White flies!
Might be a Thrips. Doesn't look like an aphid. Thrips cause a silver mottling on leaves, often on the underside.

Looks like Whitefly to me though. Doesn't at all look like thrips. I killed a bunch manually and sprayed with insecticidal soap. Hopefully that will work ok.

It's a whitefly...using imidacloprid will work, if you're not opposed to that.

Not sure I can find this in Canada. But I don't worry much about bees since I'm indoors.

Re: White flies!
The bee thing is a myth anyway. Mass paranoia doesn't make something true!

Can you still buy that over there. In Europe it has been band. Principal "bee killer!"Melt In The Sun wrote:It's a whitefly...using imidacloprid will work, if you're not opposed to that.
