These bugs are a real nuisance on my Azalea bushes. Almost killed all of my Azaleas. These bugs hide under the leaves and suck the juices out. Spread very fast. Look for white stippling on top of leaves and a black tarry like fecal matter under the leaves. Spray under the leaves with insecticidal soap or other approved insecticide.
