I have moved recently to a new home, with all sorts of new flora and fauna to play with. I've never had a problem with white flies, but, I went out this morning and a particularly noxious weed, a type of milkweed vine, seems to be a host to all sort of the tiny white flies. . .and then, I found these bright yellow little buggers either eating the flies or hatching in to them. . .any ideas? I probably should know, but, since this isn't something I had to deal with in our previous location, I'm sort of stuck.

The bright yellow ones are aphids. If they were on a Milkweed plant, they are probably the Milkweed Aphid , Oleander Aphid (Aphis nerii): http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/261/

Thanks Kennedy. . .I sort of thought it was an aphid of some sort. . .never seen one that color though. I think I'll make them go away. . . Shanda
