What can do to rid these really delicate flowers of their rude and uninvited guests? Also, could really long grass, in a part of the yard closest to the barrel where they are planted have attracted these bugs? Thank you to whoever responds to me with helpful answer pppppppp[ I have these really great perennials that have been generously coming back for many years now however this year my yard appears to have met them with these awful disgusting spit bugs.

Take them off of pasture and stall and feed them horse feed, hay and water for about 2 weeks , It is a spore or fungus that grows during the rainy season and the dew. Seems to be seasonal. Look it up on the net. Our horses were spewing,drooling,and regurgitating excessive liquid about a quart. Taking them off of pasture recomended by vet. worked. Just watch for it again when you turn them back out. If it starts again stall or pen them back up. No signs of it this year , hope it gone .

I've seen spit bugs before, usually green in color. However, these spit bugs were tiny, round, bright red & black bugs. Any idea what these were and if they are harmful to my garden?

I am the principal of a Pre-Primary School, and we want to start an outdoor club to teach the children about the local fauna and flora. If you have any information on bugs and creatures the children are likely to find in the garden, along with their habitat, interesting facts, and what preys on them, etc. it will be very welcome. I am prepared to subscribe to an online magazine to gain information. Our area is Kwazulu Natal; Kloof which is about 15Km from Durban inland. Thanks. Hello,
