But they dont really make the plants sick or die, they just seep the juice and keep on producing babies.<br /><br />Sue<br />~ you dont have so many different type of bugs/ insects. But we dont have frost... :)<br /><br />Pam<br />~ Nature has it's ways to balance things out.<br /><br />Kristina<br />~ Thanks..., gardeners are used to the ups and downs. Too bad, both roselle and bugs had to go.<br /><br />Prospero<br />~ Roselle is fun to grow..., the beautiful flowers, nice juice and jam. Bugs should not be viewed as a hindrance.<br /><br />Malar<br />~ I guess they will come back.... garden is as much theirs, where else would they go... :)<br /><br />~bangchik and kakdah<br />tanah merah kelantan.Bangchik and Kakdahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12539360678677230463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977963402204848415.post-31435222814403146752011-06-21T17:52:12.511+08:002011-06-21T17:52:12.511+08:00cathy

Some go all out to claim it. So sad, in this case, the end result is death upon death. <br /><br />Okra is so easy to grow here....<br /><br />Mark Willis<br />~ Cosa Rosella Hotel?, yeap such a great name, but too many hotel guests spoilt the beauty! I have placed the name of the red bugs in the post. Thanks to Andrea.<br /><br />Patsi<br />~ Knowing them, I am prepared for their comeback. It's alright if they are in small number, but these bugs multiply so fast!<br /><br />Lotusleaf<br />~ they make roselle their home and survive on roselle juice. But Okra may not offer such exotic juice.<br /><br />Keat.<br />~ with red bugs, there is a complex love / hate relationship. In small numbers, they are loveable, once they swell to thousands, it turns to extreme hate....<br /><br />~bangchik and kakdahBangchik and Kakdahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12539360678677230463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977963402204848415.post-32361861926742742412011-06-21T07:37:25.154+08:002011-06-21T07:37:25.154+08:00That's a lot of bugs!
