Hi All,
I am new to VFTs, I have had this one for about two months. It has seemed to grow well up to this point (wish there was a little more sun in San Francisco) and I have not had issues.
The other week, I noticed these very small, black bugs in the water tray. They are so small I cannot identify them and was hoping for some help to determine if they are dangerous and what I should do about them. This is my first post so I am hoping these pictures post correctly below. The first is my plant, the second is a high level picture with the small bugs circled, and the third is up close. They tend to ball up like they are in the third picture.
I have yet to find these small bugs in the actual plant, they are always in the water. I let the water dry out for a weekend and I didn't see the bugs anymore. Once I filled the tray back up today, they started appearing so I would think they are in the plant somewhere.
Thanks for any tips!
Nick
