I went back and double checked my plants. Nothing on the plantsThats good, maybe just in your bathroom then.lol..... I am also "mostly, 95%" sure that aphids don't have wingsyer they do have winged ones....The fourth picture of my first post on this thread, clearly shows wings.have a look at the link theres a winged aphid I also believe that aphids would be laying their eggs on the plant, not the side of the pots. both sexual and asexual reproduction, creation of eggs or live nymphs i think the whitte stuff maybe there shitAlso, I released two bags, approx. 3000 lady bugs into the room 1 1/2 or so weeks ago. Aren't aphids high up on the lady bug fav 5 list? yes they eat them,are the lady bugs still there?the aphids may have just moved in.

Thanks for any help and/or info guys....

look like aphids to me.

dude u def got aphids,there are so many varieties and males do develop wings,there wings cant flap but they use them to catch a drift of wind and glide and mate with a new colony. about every 3generations,the females will give live birth to some males, and 3 generations in they need to mate and lay eggs for a new season

aphids are gay,theyre neat and cute lookin upclose but none the less a pest

i live in Cali as well and i have NEVER seen an aphid like that. in fact in have never seen a bug like that at all. i'd bomb the shit outta everything. maybe start with all new soil and pots.

it looks like baby ladybugs to me... but then again I have no idea what baby ladybugs look like.

this is a baby ladybug, .........................

lady bugs are awesome,they bring good luck and they take care of pest

its cool to watch them molt too

Skunk, I know you are trying to help, but you come off like a pompous ass.... Look very closely at the pictures I have posted, you will see that they are clearly not aphids, go ahead look again. Not to mention I have repeatedly stated that they are not ON the plants......The bugs I am having a problem with are SOIL dwelling.... If they were aphids, They would be on the plant! As far as the EGGS being shit, NOPE they are hatching. I may not know what they are but I do know they aren't Aphids.

LOL ,,,Sorry to come off as a pompous ass. i have looked at the pic's (lots of times).

But to come off as a pompous ass a bit more here you are...

Underground Aphids
Certain aphids, such as the corn root aphid, live in the soil and attack roots and other underground plant parts such as bulbs. If you suspect an attack by soil-dwelling aphids, examine the roots of your plants for knotted growths caused by the aphids. As they do for aboveground aphid species, ants often bring these soil-dwelling aphids to your plants. They will carry young aphids through their tunnels to plant roots to allow them to feed, and will nurse aphids’ eggs through the winter. Besides the knotted roots, plants infested with root aphids show the same symptoms as those attacked by above-ground aphids--distorted, yellowed foliage.
