Aphids are among those insects that are destructive to crops and garden plants.

They've moved onto my liatris (right next to it). Should I be worried? I have the bright red aphids on my false sunflower plants. I should leave them alone to attract ladybugs back, right? I noticed less ladybugs this year in my garden than previous years (I'm in Toronto).

Personally, I find the asclepias aphids ornamental until the population gets too big, then I give them the hose treatment. They did spread to the vegi garden one time when I let the population get too big and happy.ryanhttp://drystonegarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086285745310021732.post-65002799840284177592009-06-22T14:20:28.084-06:002009-06-22T14:20:28.084-06:00Thank you !

Now that I know that they attract ladybird beetles and are harmless they will stay where they are--I'm fascinated that they are species specific !

I do believe it's nothing nice, have only seen them in the garden, but maybe I should do a bit more research.Town Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09777461911856383480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086285745310021732.post-89154302325281740792009-06-15T23:15:38.261-06:002009-06-15T23:15:38.261-06:00I just try to ignore the aphids on my roses.

Just Google rose and aphid and you'll see what I mean. <br /><br />Frankly, because the aphids attack in early spring when roses are not blooming, I don't see what the big deal is. They make great prey animals and attract cool stuff.JaninaWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086285745310021732.post-30635155841830001532009-06-15T06:01:36.049-06:002009-06-15T06:01:36.049-06:00Hi Kim,
