    I'll keep spraying weekly. If the gnats get out of hand i cover the top of the soil with about a half inch of diatomaceous earth. I then bottom feed the plants by pouring the water and nutes into the saucer so that the plant sucks up the goodness. As long as the DE stays dry the gnats are trapped and die trying to get out.

    Finding these on my struggling roses. Anyone know if these are beneficial? This is the 2nd sighting on 2 different plants. Both times in pairs. Last time i saw them they moved as a pair to avoid my camera. This pair stayed still. Cheers. Click image for larger version.

    I'm pretty certain they're Spotted Lanernfly Nymph's and from what I've read they're very bad news indeed.

    Taken from Wikipedia

    "Early life stages (instars) of the spotted lanternfly are characterized by spotted black and white planthoppers that develop a red pigmentation and wings as they mature. Early life instars display a large host range that narrows with maturation. Fully matured spotted lanternflies display a black head, grey wings, and red hind wings. These adults do not display any known associations with herbaceous plants but have been known to cause extensive damage to crops and ornamental plants. The specialized mouthparts and honeydew waste L. delicatula excretes have been found to be significantly detrimental to the health of host plants. "

    Hope that helps

    I just remembered what a spotted lantern fly is. We were killing them all summer last year. I gotta get a good systemic pesticide for the ornamentals.
