pests Giant Aphids

[jessxcr]

I was checking out my plants tonight and noticed this huge bug!

Is this an aphid?! What if I get hundreds of them?!

Seriously though. After I took this picture I noticed those black spots on the underside of the leaf. The top of the leaf looks normal however. Is this something I should be worried about? I thought it could just be a bit of discoloration.

ahhh cool frog. i have a green one i have seen it once... i hear him frequently however.

as to the black discoloration i see that here and there, i dont think its been a problem in my case tho.

It could be a little fungus maybe. I would keep a close eye on it to make sure it doesn't grow wild.

Good luck!!

Maybe your plant has warts now...


(jk obviously. Wish I could help)

It's a frog. Never seen one like it here though. Thought it was pretty cool. At first I just saw this "thing" in my plant and was wondering what the heck was on there.

Sure I read somewhere that frogs LOVE to eat aphids.
