Looking for some assistance from you kind folks. I have this one bug that always seems to come up for air when I'm spraying the neem oil. I don't know if I should squish him or not. He is hiding amongst my zuchinnis. I think he looks similar to a soldier bug, but also similar to stink bugs. So I'm really not sure.

Any help is appreciated! Smile

The bug is a squash bug, very destructive. They like to hang out under leaves and at soil level near the stem. I flush them out of hiding with a spray of water and then hand pick and squish them. The eggs, if you find them can be destroyed by squishing. there is some good info in the blog post, link under photo.

The fly may be hunting other creatures. I don't think they damage the plants.... I could be wrong on that though.

There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Good to know! I just saw one of those bugs a few days ago along with eggs on the underside of our lettuce leaves.
Renee thanks
