Ah yes... Pepper Fly. I had an infestation of them last year. I don't want to be spraying, so I practiced crop rotation and planted Onions and Garlic where the Peppers had been and didn't plant Chiles within 100 meters of there. I won't know for sure if that did the trick until next year, but from everything I've read it should. Hope this helps!

Thats a paper wasp... or at least looks like one. They are BENEFICIAL and will feed off pests on your plants. Unlike a yellow jacket wasp they are relatively docile as long as you dont bother their nest or agitate them by swatting them. Best to leave them alone.

I do not think it works. because this animal always comes when chilli starts to appear

It could very well be what Stickman said, I dont know, I have never seen a pepperfly in my garden.

I try and stay organic, I have only used neem oil for aphid and spider mite issues and thuricide for hornworms. This is what I found on the pepper fly. http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/FRUIT/TROPICAL/pepper_fruit_fly.htm

Hey, I think you have the wrong bug! There is a fly that will bite the pepper, called the pepper maggot fly. It looks very similar but I think that is a wasp.
