Hello, I have a pond filled with plants and i noticed all my floating plants
ie. Water lettuce and Hyacinth and on the Lilly plants too. There is a very
small what looks like bugs, little black ones and i have no idea what they
are. Can someone tell me what they are or some place to go and find out?
very ugly looking in the pond. I have attached a photo of one of the lettuce
infected with it. Thanks..............



Looks like aphids. Lots of info on the web.

By the way, it's best not to post binaries in a non-binary news group.

Charles,what do you mean not to post binaries. Don't understand. Thannks

If the group does not have the word "binaries" in the title, it is not
a binary group.

Examples of binaries are pictures, movies. audio files, viruses,
generally any attachments.

This group should be for text messages only. An example of a binary
group would be

"alt.binaries.pictures.gardens" which would be a suitable p-lace for a
picture like this. there isn't a pictures.ponds group that I know of.

There are various reasons for not posting binaries here, most date
back to when service was more limited, but it does cause some people
problems and can start postings of ill will. I don't intend any ill
will here. just thought I'd mention it.
