..and carries a red blob on its back?
I have them all over my sarracenia!!! They are so tiny I can't take a picture of them but they move when I tried to squeesh them. All I know is that they leave behind a red-brown sticky dots all over the leaves. I believe my neps have them too because I see similar dots. But nep leaves are tougher and the plants are not suffering.
I discovered them after being away for a week. The whole plant had dots all over and when I tried to clean them, they came off with some water. I tried using organic pesticide and nearly fried the leaves. So now, I am stuck to dabbing alcohol on every bug I see. But they are so tiny, I am going blind!
Should I use systemic pesticide? But I am afraid to kill the plant. Any brand you would recommend?
Thanks!
