Like other vegetables, pepper plants are prone to some insects and diseases. Sooty Mold, Bacterial Leaf Spots, and Mosaic Virus are diseases that can cause tiny black spots and discoloration on pepper leaves. Read to find out more in our article.

A Planthopper (Family Delphacidae) in my backyard, June 2018. This individual doesn't have the fully functioning large wings normally associated with a Planthopper adult (similar to my discussion of nymphal Grasshoppers, yesterday), but it's actually an adult. Many species of Delphacidae have two forms of adult: one with short wings that can't fly (pictured here) and one that develops long wings and is capable of flight. Nymphs develop into the long-winged flying form in response to crowding, thus aiding the species' dispersal across a habitat. . . . . . . . #delphacidae #planthopper #norfolkcounty #polymorphism #brachypterous #gardenbugs #macrowildlife #macrophotography #insectphotography #insectsofinstagram #arthropodsofinstagram #gardeninsects #gardenwildlife #backyardbugs #norfolkwild #blognorfolk #simcoeontario (at Simcoe, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBD0odegG6M/?igshid=r57tjeyky1km

Long-legged Fly (Genus Condylostylus) in my backyard, June 2018. These beautiful metallic green flies are common on leaves in gardens and forests across North America. They hunt for small arthropod prey across the leaf surfaces, glinting in the sun like jewels. . . . . . . . #nature #ontario #condylostylus #dolichopodidae #fliesofinstagram #insects_of_our_world #insectphotography #macrowildlife #macrophotography #macrowildlife #invert_macro #gardeninsects #backyardwildlife #norfolkwild #norfolkcounty #blognorfolk #simcoeontario #naturephotography #macroworld (at Simcoe, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA5QuZ6g--2/?igshid=wno1867e340t

Ant-like Scavenger Fly (Family Sepsidae, possibly Nemopoda nitidula), in my backyard, May 2018. These flies certainly are "ant-like" in appearance, but move very much like flies. This one was dancing about on a leaf in my garden and shaking its wings, performing some sort of courtship display. Sepsid Flies develop as larvae in dung or carrion, or even compost (decaying plant as opposed to animal matter). The compost was likely what attracted this particular visitor to my backyard. . . . . . . . #nature #ontario #sepsidae #decomposer #flies #fliesofinstagram #insects #insects_of_our_world #insectphotography #macrophotography #macrowildlife #invert_macro #gardeninsects #backyardwildlife #ecology #entomology #dipterology #norfolkwild #norfolkcounty #blognorfolk #simcoeontario (at Simcoe, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAm6RgDAsek/?igshid=1pobtnc16t3rb
