Bugs all over the seed pods once they opened. It had NUMEROUS blooms and then came home to this...
What bug is IT, please give me a pointer, advice on how to get rid of it totally??
cut off the pods, bag em - burn em? Or spray with something?
I would love to save the seeds but what does this bug do?
These are Niesthrea louisianica, a scentless plant bug in the family Rhopalidae). They feed primarily on members of the mallow family, but seldom do any real damage to ornamental plantings - see http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/4480/
