Marge, I realize you said you were behind on messages, however I didn't
get<br>any response from anyone on this post from 4 days ago and I was
wondering if<br>anyone on the list was able to access my bug pictures.

Here's a couple of pics of the bug needing ID.The one in the pics
have<br>been<br>> dead awhile. They are shown on a q-tip to indicate
size. The photos<br>aren't<br>> really clear, but I may have clearer
ones to add later. When they're<br>alive<br>> and on the plant, they
don't look like this to my eye. They look more<br>like<br>> a little
tan/brown Pac-Man, sort of humped, like a little helmet, and they<br>>
carry a tuft of cotton behind them. When disturbed they scurry to
the<br>other<br>> side of the stem. If you try to pinch them, they jump
very quickly away.<br>> I'm pretty sure this is a sucking insect, though
I haven't seen any holes.<br>> However, the longer they stay on a lily,
the stem at that point turns<br>brown.<br>> I have seen them on 2 lilies
and on my Deutzia x 'Montrose'. This album<br>> also contains a photo of
the first bloom of the season on my Deinanthe.<br>><br>>
