Re: Banana pest
Yuck! Are they sucking sap or what? Do you know what they are? What are you using to get rid of them?

Re: Banana pest
I'm pretty sure there just aphids. Easy to control with a little neem oil or soapy water.

Re: Banana pest
Yea, looks like some kind of aphid colony on your banana plant.
What's with the clear one on the top right?

Re: Banana pest
They come in several different colors depending on age,type of aphid. Spray bottle with dawn soap/ water will kill them. Ants will eat them as well. Spray them with the hose.

Re: Banana pest
The "clear" one in the photo is probably a cast off skin from a moult. As they grow, their outer exoskeleton can only stretch so far, so they, like caterpillars, shed the old skin for a new one growing underneath.
