Hi Ariana, Do they have the classic “tail pipes” (cornicles)? I can’t tell from the photos. https://extension.umn.edu/yard-and-garden-insects/aphids https://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/citrus/bc_aphid.htm
Hopefully the measures will help regardless Genevieve ================================================= Genevieve E.

Hi Everyone, Could I get some help with a pest ID? We found these growing on some silver ragwort we have as part of our exhibition. Are they aphids? After we found them we washed the plants and replanted them. We are going to spray them with Diatomaceous earth and insecticide soap next. Anything else we should try to get rid of them?
