Author Message   Cricket  My Favorite Photo My Garden Posted on Tuesday, May 02, 2006 - 03:31 pm EST :    Does anyone know what these bugs are, they are all over my Lupines! Should I spray them with 7? How do I get them to die? Help!

Do a google search and remedies galore will appear.. I ..personally prefer taking them off w/my hands..You have quite a few there though...

I may go pick each of them off. I love this plant! :) Thanks.

The thought of picking them off grosses me out.

Aphids generally seem to like soft new growth - so keep a lookout on plants that have new growth. Chicken - Washington, Zone "7"   Stephie  Posted on Sunday, March 02, 2008 - 09:43 am EST :    On another forum I describe these aphids....mine were huge so I called them jurasic aphids! Interestingly, they bothered only my lupines..these ones...and I take a gloved hand and squish, squish, squish! Bug-Be-Gone works...I tried everything on the worms that attack and strip my gooseberries..biological, organic you name it...then used this stuff (BBG)..no more problems. Sometimes you just have to pull out the big guns. Stephie
