Unknown pest on my strawberry plant 🥲
It was all so far so good… Except the apparition of some tiny caterpillars 🐛 eating the leaves and fruits, but I took care of it picking them all out 🤔 or I ought to believe so 😅. Now I see these tiny tiny black insectes on the stem and on top of a leaf. What are they? Will it be easy to get rid of them? I added a photo of the gorgeous strawberry my Red is giving me 🥰 she is beautiful! Help me keep her strong and healthy ♥️ #PestControl #Strawberry #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

@WantDatPlant Those tiny black specks? Looks like your strawberry plant’s got aphids or flea beetles crashing the party. Think of them as uninvited guests who show up, eat everything, and never help clean up. Quick fix blast them off with a strong stream of water, then follow up with a neem oil or insecticidal soap spray (hit the undersides of leaves too that’s their Airbnb). Repeat every few days until the freeloaders are gone. A tip my grandmother always tells me…Keep your plant well fed and stress free pests love a weak plant like ants love a dropped ice cream cone.
Aphids or … caterpillar poo poo!!
