Not certain what your seeing, but it could be the soil pest are "Springtails" from your description. Slightly feeling soapy water will kill them quick. Or, flushing the soil so most, if not all of them go up and over the sides, then just replace any lost soil Keep the soil dryer since these critters live and thrive in "moist" soil, they won't hurt the plant. If you suspect your bag of soil has these critters, you can sterlize the soil in your oven. Look up, "How to sterilize potting soil" Billy Rae

Small red bug with 3 black spots on back and wings, not lady bugs

It's definitely the bean beetle. This one above has more spots, but after seeing one spot turn to two, it might just be they get older and they get more spots. I've also gone at it with the squash bugs and they are a type of stink bug, they are armored and fairly large. I have only once seen a squash bug fly, didn't know they had wings, but I searched every squash bug, stink bug, I could find, so I am aware of the stink bug you are referring only by picture, none found in the yard yet. I didn't take a picture because I am fairly sure it's the been beetle, just don't know why they are dive bombing my tomatoes. Do they like cannas, lilies, or elephant ears? I hope not, the only bean I planted was nubbed down by a goold ole' rabbit/mole/deer/groundhog/squirrel. I have to say the rabbits are hiding better this year, unlike the groundhog and the squirrel. Well, anyways I found my culprit, it's definitely a red bean beetle, now just to find out what he's eating. I hope not my castor bean plant, isn't it poisonous to bugs too? They are only flying around the tomatoes and those flowers I mentioned above, plus the honeysuckle bush.

Brian, you painted such a nice picture in my mind. I can only imagine the beauty you saw this morning..Don't you wish that your closest citrus buddies could share that moment with you? I always do. I wish you guys could see how my trees glissen like green emeralds after a rainy moment when the sun peaks out..It's awe inspiring and yet depressing that there is no other citrus enthisiast around me at home. I wish I had friends that enjoyed the simple little moments I enjoy when I look at the green of the plants against the clairity of the reflections on my pond with frogs sitting there so contently...They are moments that make you smile and yet no one to share with. I guess that is why we take hpotos and try to make our friends here see and feel what we do. Thank god we have each other) Can you smell Maggy's sauce right now, I sure can! That combined with the fragrance of my cirus trees is just over whelming. I LOVE LOVE LOVE what your tree looks like. I have a question for you? How long have you been putting handfuls of fertiizer on your soil and how often do you do it? Do you worry about salt deposits over time? For now, it seems to be working, but I am curious about what comes over time? Please let me know. If you have been doing this for quite some time without issues.... Garlic? I am with you on that. I sautee garlic and keep it for just about everything except my cereal..Lol I even grate garlic right into my salads...Love it. Brian, enjoy your day off tomorrow and don't work too hard))0) Take a lesson from my frogs, well at least most lessons... Mike

Thank you very much for the reply. It's definitely appreciated. Do you happen to know of any sort of organic sprays that I could put on the plants to prevent aphids from returning once I've pinched 'em all away? I think I might try spraying them off into a ditch or something because finding them all and pinching every one of them might be a bit too tedious for my likes. Thank you again.

Yep. Had it verified out by a good friend who was a phone phreak and had all the gear. Nasty neighbors and crooked cops. A bad mix.

Mosquitoes. We live by a lake but it's very rare to have mosquitoes where I live. But occasionally we do and last night was the occasion. There was one buzzing around my ears while I was in our spare bedroom working. I about went nuts. I hate them. They love me. :-(

Praying Mantis. I love finding mantis. I think they are fascinating.

Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches. These are not native to our area but I used to raise them when I had a rain forest setup for my Chinese Waterdragons. The hissers grow to 3" and are very cool guys.

1. Harlequin beetle - they look like they have a mask on their back. Also called STINK bugs LOL.

2. Box Elder bugs, inside and outside at work. I hate those things. They fly up into the skylight, hit it, then fall on my head.

3. Crickets! (said in the same voice Seinfeld used when he said "Newman!").

1. A garden spider

2. Ants

3. More ants, lots and lots of ants, thankfully all of them are outside.

I read in our local paper if you pour dry grits on an ant hill, it will kill them. They eat the grits and swell up and--guess you know what happens then! They swear it works.
