Default Rhubarb and blackfly.

What I am wondering is, do blackfly have natural predators that I
could encourage? I was momentarily hopeful when I noticed a ladybird
in close proximity to the little bliughters on one of the affected
plants - however, on closer examination, it turned out to be two
labybirds, too busy making whoopee to have dinner on their mind.

You may be in luck then - ladybird larvae eat more pests than adults.
