pest

I know everybody has been waiting for my "joke" this year, but I've had a change of heart. Instead of spending my time on a way to fool everybody I spent it a way to entertain you for a few minutes. In other words I couldn't think of anything that everybody will believe. I am just going to post...

Hello gang - I have yet to get a N. but have been reading a lot about them. My question is mainly about pests. Basic question, but I am paranoid due to all of the threads about plants being ruined by all of the pests out there (search function started the nightmare), so now when I am looking...

We've all probably dealt with some sort of bug infestation on our CPs at some point, and tried to find a pesticide that will kill the pest but not the plant. Check this out: http://www.vivariumforum.com/?q=terrarium-pest-millipede-problem-co2 Simple, effective, easy, clean. I'm a bit...

Hey guys! on a couple of my lowland neps, i have started to notice little white bug-things on their leaves. There are alot of them...and they turn the leaf from a nice green to an ugly brownish purple red spot. It is afflicting my 'caeser', mirabilis/anamensis, possibly my bical and maybe my...

What could be doing this to my plant? Some kind of insect or rodent?

so i have identified one already as oribatid mites, those are the ones that are only eating the small decomposed leafs (thought to be harmless to plants) and the others is red. and doesnt look a think like spider mites and is only in the moss of my pots. no webbing, and no massive numbers only a...

Hello, i have just registered although i have been reading posts for quite some time. Two weeks ago, i noticed my pepper plant had been infested/devastated by some sort of pest, there was also i spike in the gnat(little tiny flying specks, butterwort took care of them:-)) ) population on my...

First, Hello.. I have been surfing the Terra forums, for about 6 months now. Im amazed at the library of information you guys have here! Great pics, Great people, Great neps!. Hopefully i can join the ranks of such prime growers! Well i finally made an account so here i go. So... Currently...

I found these all over my sundews. They arent mealy bugs I believe but I'm not sure what they are. They don't fit the description of thrips which I have on some plants right now. Is this harmful?

I've got something that looks like scale, but I don't think it is. It's small, white, flat, cottony-looking (but NOT fluffy), stationary, and oval/round. Found them growing where the ala meets the pitcher wall on one of my Heliamphora. Can't find pics of it anywhere and I've been searching and...

My Sundews are being attacked by some type of pest that I'm having a hard time controlling. I'm sorry if these are a duh-duh comment pest, but I havn't been able to find a good match on the description of them through my searches. They seem pretty straight forward, tiny, tip of a pencil size...

oye - as if aphids wasn't enough to make things hard - i got a couple other problems now. For one thing, a green slimy mold is growing - now i read about it, and it is an algae that grows in the moist soil conditions, but it bothers me none the less. What i have read is that you can scrape it...

I know a lot of you guys are into bugs as well as bug-eating plants (ironically! ;)) sooooo.... My poor little container garden is starting to get a nasty aphid infestation :P so I'm considering ordering a package of ladybugs to help control them. I heard somewhere that a little dish soap in...

My first pest :( Sorry for the bad pic (bad camera).. you can see the pest the best on the pitcher to the left. I have some ortho, but I read that it's not for all kinds of pests. Is this a pest it will control or do I need to get something else? Thanks for the help

I have this pest on my truncata. it has been there for almost a year. I have treated it with Ortho systemic pesticide 4 times and I can't tell if they are dead or not. can someone identify it and tell me if they are dead? I don't want them to spread to my other neps. they don't seem to be on the...

What insecticides and fungicides (and other chemicals) are OK to use on VFTs? I don't think there are any pests on my VFT right now, but I have some other non-CPs around the VFT that have some pests? Thanks

It might seem like a pointless topic, but, something worried me about my VFT's. They are only a few inches away from the fluorescent tube and two weeks ago or so the plant made a leaf that shot about 1 inch from the light (a pest infection made it so weak it couldn't support itself anymore...

Some recent traps on 2 of my dionaeas are looking a bit weird, don't know why. They are 2 growing points from the same clone, and they were divided and repotted 4weeks ago. All the others are fine and growing normal leaves. I also didn't find signs of any kind of pest. Looks like there's a...

I have a Bat on my house!!!!! if i weren't scared of rabies and it biting me i would catch it. they can be a pest if too many are in one area. something like their poop gives off toxic fumes or something lol i dunno much about it but i thought it was cool and i took pics and wanted to share

Last night I was top watering my D. aliciae (just around the rim of the pot, not actually over the plants) and I noticed a few tiny insects come scurrying out of the soil mix and run back under cover as soon as the water level dropped. Maybe 3 or 4 tiny white bugs 1 to 1.5mm long. One of them...
