Bugs on Poppy bud


I always love to see these tiny insects - I think they are called Tarnished Plant Bugs? - and discovered several of these on the Poppy buds in friend Dorothy's garden a couple of evenings ago.
"The tarnished plant bug (TPB) (Lygus lineolaris) is a common pest of several fruit crops in Ontario and a number of vegetable crops including celery, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, edible amaranths, snap beans, pepper, eggplant, potato, tomato and spinach. Both the adult and the immature stages damage crops."
www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/crops/facts/98-025.htm
"The tarnished plant bug (TPB) is one of the most serious pests of small fruits and vegetables in North America. No truly effective or reliable management options currently exist. Growers routinely make 3-5 applications of insecticides each year to control this insect. The cost is $200-$500/acre. Considering the narrow profit margin for today's farmers, these costs are significant. The research being conducted at the Entomology Research Laboratory represents the first step towards developing insect-killing fungi for management of TPB." From Wikipedia.
