Question for JBP experts
Yesterday while checkin my juni's for mites I thought I wold check my JBP's. Now I've been keeping JBP"s for 8 years with never a problem but a little needle cast now and then. When I checked them yesterday I found a bug on every tree and I have 13. I attached a picture but you probably won't be able to tell anything, so I will do my best to discribe them. They are about 1/32" long and look somewhat like a black ant, when I smashed one, sure enough it turned the paper green, problem. I hit them with Malathion which usually gets most stuff, didn't phase these guys. I looked around on my chemical shelf and my wife had some general Spectracide that said it killed everything but rattlesnakes :-). It got em. Can anyone out there tell me what the heck these guys were.

Look kind of like juvenile ticks to me.

Do ticks feed on JBP needles, I thought they needed blood ?

I have some black jumping spiders that just love hanging out on my Pines. The babies look like your pic. These of course are harmless to have around. There any webs? Wilting? ect?
Got a magnifying glass? Even if yaa can't determine what they are, cooking em up may give ya some satisfaction. =-) Death Ray from Space. |

No webs, but when I smashed them it turned the paper green, so they hed been eating somethimg green and suspect it was my JBP's.

I have never had a bug problem on any JBpines. Did you see signs of needle damage? They may have just been in the wrong place and the wrong time!

No damage I could see, but they were on 13 of my pines and not on any of my other trees setting right next to the JBP's.
