Pretty little devil's, sucks that they do so much damage. I skipped putting plants outside this year due to not getting any tree work done to improve my available sunlight, and I don't miss the bug and weather drama a bit. It was fun but the stress wasn't worth it for me. Maybe if I get better sunlight next year and I can plant in ground I'll give it another try but indoors, in the AC, with hardly ever a pest is a much easier way to go and I don't need to grow big plants. Good luck with the critters.

What kind of bug eats all the green of the leaf and leaves the veins? What's left looks like a piece of lace. I didn't see the bugs. I don't think it was afids. No big deal, just 3 or 4 leafs. Just curious.

Pics? Also that’s potentially a huge deal (especially indoors) and you should get on it immediately

Thanks.
That was taken care of. It was a while back. I was curious in case it happens again. It was a few fan leafs near the middle of the plant up high.

A slug sounds like.

Thanks, it could be. I didn't see signs of them around the plants but we do have them around the chicken feeder.
Interesting!

Oleander Aphids on my milkweed, one fat lady bug can't eat em all. Gonna cut these off into a jar, can't be good and I don't know what eats them.

The little yellow wigglers creep me out.

Jap beetles are infamous skeletonizers of leaves for one

That sounds more likely than afids. Soapy water would have killed them and these had to have been on a regular schedule. The damage was far near the, just about far enough for the plant to have grown if the eggs had of been laid on the top.
