Hi

I found tons of tiny white bugs, they look almost heart shaped, and have been hiding in my dying lupins, and also (separately) in a courgette plant I chucked at the weekend - complete disaster and very mildrew ridden.
Any ideas what they are, and how to naturally get rid of them? There are so many of them and they look like bad news :(

Thanks

sound like whitefly, do they all fly up as soon as you brush past the plants, check your brassicas thats where they usually hide out

Hi thanks, yes they all fly up! I did a google search for some whitefly images and it's definately them.
I'm not growing any brassicas but perhaps they have a liking for dying lupin remains?

Thanks,
