All I can say is keep after them .Thankgoodness they are red.....they would wipe out a plant in no time if you couldn't see them.

Get rid of that black goo they leave behind at some stage of their cycle as well.

that black goo is their eggs, isn't it? Amen to that...I killed about eight of them,( and they are one tough bug)...before they jumped from the easter lilies I transplanted to my Vermeer... I keep a close eye. Great photo...I was so charged up I forgot to take a pic!! Kill! Kill!
