Q&A – What are these little white bugs on my jalapeno pepper?
Question:
What are these little white bugs on my jalapeno pepper?
Answer:
These are likely aphids, probably green peach aphids. The white “bugs” you see are probably what is left over when the aphid molted. You can take care of the aphids by knocking them off with a stream of water or using insecticidal soap.
