This is what evil looks like...

Juvenile squash bugs in various stages of molting... Ugh, it gives me the creepy crawlies just seeing 'em.


I gently picked off the dying leaf, having only a few drop off in the garden, took it down to the pond, and THREW! Unfortunately the wind kept it "on shore" in the weeds, but I know I saw a few fling off into the water. Hopefully the fish snatched 'em right up. Looks like I might be using some Garden Dust this weekend...
