Zuchinni: tiny flying bugs and ants
 

I have had a few zuchinni deaths and today I noticed little ants
inside the some of the flowers and there are little tiny flying things
hovering around the zuchinni plants only and maybe going after some of
the basil too.

What are they and is there anything I can do to get rid of them?

Plus I had Lettuce and cabbage and they got eating to death.

the flying things could be adult aphids. In that case, the ants would
be eating them. If the flying bugs aren't aphids, then the ants might
just be going after the necter in the flowers. Nothing to worry about.

I just lost all my squash to aphids....... I didn't see it when it started
small.... I sprayed the aphids off with water but within days, the plants
were taken over..... no more having to give away squash.
