Red and Black Bugs

Posted 230 days ago

We have embarked on the world's biggest veggie garden (well to us beginners at least!) and we have thousands of red and black bugs- our chooks won't even look at them! They are covering our ripening tomatoes- particularly, but there seems to be no damage so far- I just read an article on bugs that suck juices??? We are in Western Sydney...Please help!!

hi there, they could be box elder bugs, we have a similar problem with these bugs, they cluster everywhere but if they are box elder then they won't do the veges any harm.I suggest you google them and see if this is what you have. cheers.
