Given the amount of Aphids that I have sucking the juices from my plants this year, seeing the above roaming among my tomatoes, potatoes and squash quite the welcome sight. I have probably killed 1000 aphids this week. I admit I have used some insecticidal soap. However, I did not apply this spray generally all over the plants. I only sprayed the undersides of leaves that were infested with the aphids. I have noticed a few ladybugs, and more importantly their larva, so the spraying is over. I will rub out any large colonies of aphids I see, and let the other bugs do the rest.
So far, green tomatoes on all the plants, a few peppers, blooming potatoes and the rest is still in vegetative form. You can see the white casts left be the aphids in this photo, at least I think that is what they are.
