Tonight I was eating supper in the greenhouse when I noticed two Assassin Bugs on the Hibiscus plant sitting on the table with us. I didn’t disturb them, but it was fun to watch them as they moved around on the plant. They came into contact briefly and both waved some legs at each other and scurried around and then one backed down. So far, in the past month or two the Assassin Bugs have gotten rid of the leafhoppers but had very little noticeable impact on the whiteflies or spider mites, so I’ll have to tackle those differently. I might transfer one or two if I can to some indoor plants with mealybugs to see if they an take care of those for me.
