As far as I know,they are a different species to those that infest the
leaves and stem of the plants.They are also carried to the plants by ants so
I try to keep the ant population down around my plants as much as
possible.The mistake I made in the other digest was through lack of
experience in answering E.mails as I am a beginner in this field.I've had
heaps of advice on this matter now and will try not to do it again.
Good growing.
