:lol: I just purchased two Pont du Alice Mandevilla plants ( I think they are tropical vines?) that were on sale at Lowe's for a buck a piece. Well, I was trimming away the dead stuff and found these little green thingies in what looks like the open buds - kinda like sesame seeds but a little smaller. Well, I thought they were seeds so I wiped some off and put them in the dirt. :shock: I JUST saw one CRAWLING!!! Should I be concerned? Should I kill them? Any ideas how? :?:

Is there any damage done to the plant? Without a picture, it is difficult for me to try and ID.
http://insects.tamu.edu/fieldguide/may be of help to you for ID. I would not take much of their advice on treatment though, personally. :wink:
