Some of my broccoli has been wilting - I thought it was a wilt, but it didn't have the browning leaves, etc. It was just limp during the day, and it would perk up at night.
I let them be, hoping they'd recover. Well, today one of them was just lying down, pretty much dead. I pulled him up, and no less than 3 bugs came crawling out of the stem. I looked down, and there were more from the hole the plant came out of!
I have 2 more broccoli that are also wilting, and I'd love to save them! What kind of insect are these, and how do I kill them??
This is one of the wilting plants. Notice the small, dark green patches on the wilting leaf. This is not happening on the healthy plant.
