I also noticed some tiny, black bugs on one of the plants and when I tried to squish them, they would jump away. I have grown these plants for a number of years and have never had this problem with these insects. They have not attacked any other plant in the garden, only the cleomes. How do I kill these buggers? Here's a pic of the damage caused to the leaves. |
