Thanks Lauren, that’s great.

 

This same plant has little webs all over it which contain eggs and some tiny crawling things.

Are you (or is anybody else) able to tell from these pictures whether it’s a mealybug infestation or whether these are some kind of tiny spiderling?

 

These really are tiny – as small as a full stop.

The closeup of one of the creatures looks like a spider to me.

 

Cheers,

Graeme


 Yeah, these are spiderlings, I think. I'm not sure what species, though.

Does anyone know what this thing is?

It’s 1 (one) mm long and is on the underside of a potted dahlia leaf.

The dahlia is partly covered in little webs, (which may or may not be connected with this little critter), and is dying.

It's a mealybug. Hope this helps!

"If mealybugs are present on only a few, small plants, you can try to reduce or eliminate infestations by washing off the plants. A moderately strong spray of warm water will dislodge most of the mealybugs. Alternatively, you can try wiping the insects and egg masses off the plants with a cotton swab or cloth dipped in rubbing alcohol. This is most effective on large-leaved plants (but test first on a small area to make sure the alcohol won’t damage the plant; it may take a day or two for symptoms to show). Washing rarely eliminates all the pests, so it is important to check the plants periodically and wash again or use other controls when more are noticed. 

"It may be helpful to prune out heavily infested plant parts when such pruning won’t damage the appearance of the plant. Dispose of plant cuttings immediately, since mealybugs can survive on detached plant parts for as long as those parts have moisture. Consider discarding a heavily infested plant and replacing it with a new, pest-free plant as one way to deal with a severe mealybug problem. Root infestations are particularly difficult to control, so this is often the most practical way of eliminating root mealybugs.

Hi,

I've had a problem for several years with psocids, notably Liposcelis bostrychophila.

1) I lived in a house with Psocids and used a dehumidifier to get rid of them. Once I had central heating installed they went away
2) After a couple of years having not seen any in house 1 (they were gone) I moved to house 2 - I had no problems with Psocids in house 2 for 5 years!
3) Now ive been living in house 3 for 6 months and ive had an explosion of Psocids again =(

the house is not damp, and I still run a dehumidifier - Relative Humidity is about 50% but ive got Psocids again.

I keep my house really clean.

So my questions for the experts on this group are;

1) How is it that I have them again after 5 years of not having them?!
2)  Did they come with me and layed dormant in furniture for 5 years?!
3) Are they that common and it was just bad luck that the new house has them?
4) I have lots of trees around the house and do have the windows open, could they be coming into the house from them (apparently they like bark, is that right?)

Any advice or ideas on why this has happened appreciated. At the moment I have vacuuming constantly and have the dehumidifier on 24x7.

Thanks

-Keith

It's an assassin bug - just as beneficial as a praying mantis. But don't grab
it. It can really bite.

Thanks - I'll try that - have already lost a couple of legs, which I'll glue
back in place. Have got bumblebee sized entomological pins - it's quite a large
beast.

Matt Smith,
 
Thank you very much!  It is a Wheel Bug.  My kids woke up this morning and stared at it for a long time (of course through the window).  It "took off" around 1pm EST.  I'm glad we didn't disturb it last night considering it's painful bite capability.  Thanks again for the education.  Have a great day!

Good evening. My 6 yo daughter and I found a mystery bug in Charlotte, NC this evening. My kids are terrified of the mystery bug and my wife is afraid it will harm our dog. I'm not fond of killing animals just because they look different. We took a digital picture of it called "t.hedez589 Mystery Bug Photo". Please help us identify the mystery bug in Charlotte, NC. Is it dangerous? Harmful to humans or pets? Please advise. Thank you in advance.

In the UK it would be a Harlequin ladybird larva, Harmonia axyridis: the two rows of orange spines are distinctive.  The USA has a larger ladybird fauna, but I'd definitely check out that species first!

Dear all,

Would appreciate help with aphid species active today in woodland in Essex,
England.

The adults were mostly black, with some white speckling, but distinct orange
legs. The winter aphid Lachnus roboris (syn. L roborus) was also active
today (these roboris being larger than the mystery species), and both
species were found in the presence of their own eggs (laid in block-rows
along or circles around twigs).

Any suggestions for ID?

Many thanks,

Guy

Hi,

nice shot :)!!

Your son must have exaggerated with the size, about half of it would be correct,
though robber flies do look impressive. As the name already suggests, they hunt
after other insects, usually catching their pray in flight - even dragon flies.
Hence, they are extremely efficient and acrobatic "flight machines" :). You can
find some more pictures here:

Sorry, I can't identify your fly to species level.

Best regards,
Ruedi
