Hi there
Just decided to the the watering of every plant I own in the house after holiday (very lax, I should have started 5 minutes after I walked in the door on Thursday) anyway, I have an evil bug creature.
I'm not sure what it is, as it doesn't look very much like any of the bug pictures I have tracked down on the forum. So I was wondering if anyone could tell me what it is. that way I know how to treat the plant. (Other than spraying like mad with anti-every-bug-under-the-sun spray)
Anyway, an ID would be helpful. For scale, the body of El Buggio is about 0.5 cm long.
It also led me to another thought - would it be worth having a sticky thread giving useful pictures of common bugs and/ or symptons of them for those micro- non-discernible to the human eye jobbies to allow those ever so helpful people that we inexperienced people tend to worship (ok - I am laying it on with a trowel) get on with their lives a bit more rather than responding to people like me who ask panic stricken "What the hell is this thing?" questions?
I am off to go back to glaring at the bug thing - of which I am trying very hard not to find more as currently I am hoping really daftly that there is only one of these things on my plant and now that I have got it, I won't have any more problems......
