Survey today shows no thrips in pepper flowers, a couple in melon.
I don't know if the "tap the flower" method works on tomato.
Hoverflies have in large part moved on, mabe 10% of last weeks level.
Melon are not setting well, but they never do here. Don't know if its trips or that it's not warm enough?
Blue/yellow sticky traps have thrip sized critters but don't have a magnifier for positive ID.
This is the first year I have never had to spray for aphids, still time though, especially if the beans ever get going, they seem to be mid season target.
