 Aaaaarrgh! I **HATE** APHIDS (+ ANTS)!!!

Just went to deadhead some of my polyanthers, which have been looking a bit tired the past few days.

As I found more and more to snip, I also started running into lots of the dreaded green sesame bugs + their white wiggly larvae. Managed to squish many, but also saw a few trying to make a rapid getaway! 🤬

Have now carpet bombed the flowerbeds with the concentrated bugspray, and will repeat in a few days if I spot any more! 
 @e5c2d016 squishing them is the best thing, it makes the aphids run away and it attracts predators 😄
