Hello there,

Was just viewing a friends garden a few days ago and noticed the lupines were infested with some sort of blueish aphid creature. What are they and how to best control??

Thanks!

Aphids.
There are many species, and some are different colors depending on the host.

If you want to avoid pesticides, simply spraying them off with a nozzle on a garden hose is quite effective.
