Question
I have planted some young vinca flowers.  At the base of the plant are many, perhaps 10 to 20 bugs that are perhaps a quarter of an inch in length that seem to be eating the flowers and they are dying.  What are these bugs and how can I save the rest of my plants?

Thank you  

Answer
Hi Sally
take one of them down to your county extention office to get them identified. it could be any number of insects but without seeing them i could only guess. annuals are tender and hard to bring back if they turn for the worse it would be better to replace them.  Good Luck  Larry  ;-)
