pics and insect i d Posted by Mark z7 Sharptown, MD on May 16, 2025, 11:55 am It may be hard to see but, my bottlebrush is putting out new leaves! I thought it was a goner. Roses Catalpa blooms I have an infestation of these critters on some of my yuccas. Anybody know what it is? Thanks

Re: pics and insect i d Posted by Fred SC on May 16, 2025, 1:58 pm, in reply to "pics and insect i d " These are little sucking insects related to stink bugs. I read that Sevin(fairly safe pesticide) e we I’ll kill them for a big investigation. For just a get use rubbing alcohol on Q-tip. Glad your Bottlebrush is coming along. Is blue flower Hydrangea? Nice rose.

Bugs Posted by Tom in PA on May 16, 2025, 8:43 pm, in reply to "pics and insect i d " Mark,I’ve had little bugs like that on my yuccas. I have no idea what they are. They killed one of my yuccas and another they defoliated. Bayer will take them out. Good luck!

Re: pics and insect i d Posted by Alvin, z6 on May 16, 2025, 10:03 pm, in reply to "pics and insect i d " Yucca plant bug, Mark. Am I looking at a branch hanging from a Catalpa? The tree looks small, if not.

Re: pics and insect i d Posted by Mark z7 Sharptown, MD on May 17, 2025, 8:58 am, in reply to "Re: pics and insect i d " Thank you for the bug info Fred. The blue flower you are talking about is actually more white and they are from the catalpa tree.

Re: Bugs Posted by Mark z7 Sharptown, MD on May 17, 2025, 8:59 am, in reply to "Bugs" Great to know! Thank you Tom.

Re: pics and insect i d Posted by Mark z7 Sharptown, MD on May 17, 2025, 9:02 am, in reply to "Re: pics and insect i d " Yes it is a catalpa. It was here when I moved in 30 years ago. It had been placed under an oak tree and a gum tree. I have cleared some branches from the oak so it is growing more upright. Thanks for the bug i d.
