I have been growing roses for 5 years now and I'm suddenly seeing an insect that's about the size and shape of an earwig, and black with orange on the back. Does anyone know what they are?

Without a picture it is difficult to be sure. That said it sounds like you have lady bug larvae. http://bugguide.net/node/view/15067 Scroll down a bit to see the larvae. http://www.members.tripod.com/buggyrose/ibeneficials.htm Best of luck |

Wendy, Please feel free to suggest or add interesting or useful websites to the LINKS section of HelpMeFind. We would like to collect and organize the best links on the net. We already have Baldo Villegas' superb "Bugs and Roses" website listed but we were unaware of bugguide.net. Another great resource, thanks ! |
