Can you help me ID small green bugs that are on my milkweed plants?
Hi everyone. My question .... I have found 2 about 1/4" or smaller green slimey looking things on my Milkweed. At firstI thought they were baby Cats but was obvious on closer looking at them they were not. They were almost transparentlime green color and had a blue spot near their heads obviously underneath their outer skin. Any idea what they mightbe? I did just put them in my birdbath water. Sounds so mean, but maybe you can tell me what they might be.Thanks guys.

Could they be aphids?

Aphid would be my first guess. You can always take them to a nursery.
Hi there, These could be small caterpillars, but without a picture I'm as much in the dark as you are!
My daughter talks about Japanese beetles that sound like this. They will eat leaves on some plants that leaves them lacey looking. Put Seven on them if you think that is what the are.
Please share a photo, that would be the best way for us to identify them. A local nurse could help as well if you show them a photo and suggest a treatment.
