Tiny red spots on the white roses flowers
Does anybody know what are they?
Thanks. Dina |
A fly on my roses
"dina" wrote I saw a fly 1/2 inches long, black head and legs and bright, yellow body. It was stationary as if planting larvae(?) or doing something else. I saw it several times on the roses. I wander how bad it is for the roses? Probably a Hoverfly, a predator of Aphids and good news. -- Regards Bob Hobden just W. of London |

If so, the larvae, when they hatch, resemble caterpillars. Here's the adult: http://tinyurl.com/mwmpnm I have a pesticide-free policy in my garden, but I know that this isn't for everyone. Treat the larvae as any other caterpillar if you want to avoid damage to the foliage. Homer Sparrow |
