Grasshoppers

Post by buddaboy »

I check my trees twice a day when possible, this morning I was doing some wiring and everything was fine and dandy. This afternoon I went out to take a picture of my lillypilly and as I checked over all my babies I came across this on my Ficus benjamina 'Golden Monique'.:

I sprayed them ok :twisted: but with the wet weather at the moment I will probably need to spray again next week. :cry:
