One thing you can try is to walk around with a can of hair spray--the better the "hold"--
the better it should work. Spray a bunch--and It should give them a "pause"....:o)
Or--Lemon Joy dish detergent (diluted in water0....It seems to work on a lot of insects....

I have only seen a few of these in my garden--mostly on my 4's and my Datura's
seed pods. Maybe they are just waiting to see them crack open--
and then in they will go--along with the earwigs....and ants....

I've been checking the seed pods every other day. They are now starting to pop....

Purple/white Datura.pods....not yet "ripe'...Each will have close to 100 seeds in there....
