Mid-Atlantic Gardening: Plant It and They Will Come #7 Eggs and Cats Oh My, 1 by Gitagal

coleup---

I have found ONE egg on the tip of a newer shoot (from the base) of my
Swamp MW. Please advise--I read the link above--but I really do not
want to "get into it"--if you know what I mean. BUT--I will do what I can to
pass these things over to you.

THEN---I went to clean off all the leaves of my tropical MW--
they were so covered with the aphids!. I was using a small piece of paper towel
dipped into some soapy water. Wipe...wipe....and then I saw something bigger
on the towel that might be an instar. They looked a bit too fat to be an instar (I've seen one)
but I put it back on the underside of a leaf. Later I found another one just like it
at the base of a bunch of leaves by the stem.

Took a couple pictures--but--you know that my camera does not focus at macro
any closer than 4". So--the pictures are not so great.

Please tell me what to do??? I read the link you posted at the top of thiss thread.
I will be seeing sally friday morning and can relay these to her--and, coleup,
you can come and get them.

I will do another close-looking of these new leaves just in case I missed something,
I am sure I am correct on the egg. I touched it--and it felt hard. No picture if it...

Here are the two shots i took of the --whatever they are--small thingies.
They do not look like instars--do they?
