I noticed that they are far greater in number on the plants that are in the least sunlight (i.e. the petunias that are exposed to more sun have fewer or none of these bugs). I also noticed that they completely ignore marigolds that are directly next to the petunias, and they also ignore several nearby vegetable plants. They don't appear to be moving, or at least they may be moving extremely slowly. I have seen them for the past month or so, beginning in May. I'm living near Sacramento, CA. See a semi-clear close-up photo of an individual here: http://cmccabe.freeshell.org/images/white-bug-on-petunia-lea... Thanks to anyone who can help me ID these insects!
