Aphids, or plant lice, feed on most vegetable crops, many houseplants and many ornamentals grown in New Hampshire, as well as numerous weeds and wild plants. With their awesome reproductive abilities aphids can build up in large numbers in a very short period of time.

 

Among the several species of plant bugs that invade New Hampshire fruit, vegetable and ornamental crops, the one that does the most damage is the tarnished plant bug (TPB), Lygus lineolaris.
