Ok, I will do my best to describe them. Very small. I mean, about as wide in diameter as an eyelash, maybe two eyelashes thick, they seem to move like a worm, inching along, and they are yellow, or white, or a whitish-yellow, like inside a banana. Also, I have noticed little black spots on some leaves, and some shiny spotting, which I thought may have been splash from watering, like maybe the nutrients in the water were causing it, but I have also read that those are both indicators of pests.. The black dots, and the shininess.. anyway, I would post pics but my camera sucks, and I doubt it would even see them. They are small. I pulled a couple leaves and only found 1 per leaf, but, I finally pulled a leaf off of the very bottom of one plant, and there were about 5-6 of them. They like to sit in the middle of the blades of leaves. Other than that, my garden looks great, very nice and green, so I haven;t been too worried about it, just keeping an eye on them. Also, I have had fungus gnats for the past couple rounds, and they haven't seemed to be that big of a deal, so I just let them go. There just aren't that many, and the plants look good, so I don't really do anything about them.. Ive been thinking of nematodes, but I don't know where to get them other than online. Any help would be much appreciated.. Thanks in advance.
oh, and I also thought maybe they could be fungus gnat larvae, but I have never heard or read of them being on the leaves, just in the soil. I thought maybe thrips, but, they dont seem to have wings, and there arent any other flying pests other than the fungus gnats.
