That’s the biggest one I’ve ever seen. That thing looks like it could strip a tree overnight.
First time I’ve seen these this year on my peppers. Usually they prefer other plants but weather has been bad for em
protip: install a birdbath. It’s not your war.
That’s a big bastard. Diatomaceous earth mixed with water in a sprayer to coat the leaves will kill them. When they eat the leaves it will cut up their digestive system and kill them. Also go to Home Depot and start throwing bird seeds around your yard to attract some avian friends. Once the bigger birds see that the smaller guys think your yard is safe you’ll start getting larger birds curious and they would love the big meaty snacks. Bigger bonus is you’ll have bird poop in your yard, best free nitrogen you’ll ever get.
I have aphids attacking my peppers and now they not producing no peppers at all unfortunately 😒 I just cut down my zucchini plant because of aphids I tried apple cider vinegar mixed with water and sprayed it down but I don’t know if it gelped or not
