These suck sap from plant leaves like aphids or white fly leaving white and yellow blotches. If problem is severe enough plants can wilt and die. Do they look like this? http://creatures.ifas.ufl.edu/veg/leaf/harlequin_bug.htm Posted on 06/11/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Getting Rid Of Bugs On Tomato Plant By Karen (Guest Post) I am sure these are not lady bugs. They look like a immature version of the larger stink bugs only they are red and black.

Please identify the immature ladybug before you kill them, since they look really different from the mature ladybug.

If you make your own soap solution make sure you are using soap and not detergent, detergents can damage or kill your plants.

Also, you can mix 1 part ivory dish soap with 3 parts water and spray directly onto the plant. I've heard this one from several gardener friends who swear by it for a quick-fix for bugs and a safer fix than heavier insecticides. Posted on 06/03/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse
