I have seen aphids on D. capensis, adalae and binata. Once a larva that
normally borrows into corn found its way into my CP. There it ate up all
of D. indica plants (two big ones some babies) over night. When I found
it the next day, I fed it to a VFT from which it promply escaped by
chewing its way out and then disappeared. The moral: kill such pests on
sight.
