Friend or Foe?


First time with Milkweed flowers. What are all these yellow things? They wiggle a little bit and appear to maybe have legs or antennae. Do I leave them be?

    They’re aphids. I tend to just leave them alone on my milkweed and hope that the ladybugs will come along and eat them.

    Oleander aphids. No need to do anything. Predators such as ladybug, green lacewing larva and hoverfly larva will come by and take care of them.
