    @marysurbanchickengarden 3 роки тому +1

    I've been seeing some flying insects hovering around the potatoes and there no flowers and they look exactly like one in your video. I assumed it was a pest laying eggs on the potato leaves. I haven't sprayed the potatoes with anything and I don't see any leaf damage yet. I had a beautiful butterfly hovering around the citrus leaves and I took a closer look and the thing was laying eggs on the leaves. When they hatched they penetrated the leaves and messed up quite a few of them. I understand from researching that the larva is called a leaf miner.
    I reckon I'll have to see what the little hovering flies around the potatoes are doing, being sceptical I'm not expecting anything good from them lol. Good video Steve and thanks for sharing. All the best to you and the family, stay safe and God bless.

    • @stevesgrowingspace
      @stevesgrowingspace  3 роки тому

      That's the trouble Mary, a lot of these insects all look the same, it's hard to tell the good guys from the bad lol
      I hope the ones around your potatoes are beneficial and not destructive.
      Shame about your citrus, butterflies are pretty but their young can cause problems for us gardeners.
      I hope you and yours are all well
