Beetroot bugs
« on: July 17, 2004, 22:00:21 »
Hi everyone,
I have got a major infestation of huge shield bugs (not sure what sort) on my beetroot plants.
Are they doing any harm?

Hi...if they haven't done any damage by now, it is unlikely that they will,specially if they are only occupying the leaves.....Alan

Careful - they can  sting/bite or whatever.
Thought they preferred to sun themselves on the raspberry leaves.
