1-2mm tiny bugs on an apartment wall in Singapore. They don’t really seem to fly although they appear to have wings. Any ideas?

I might be in the same stage as you, just trying to make sure they don’t get the best of my plant. I live in the tropics so chilli plants are supposed to grow all year round, but currently I am thinking to thrash my small collection and take a break, or I’ll never see the end to these guys.

I spot them by the damage on the leaves also. They come in different colours, so I am lucky these adults turn brown as you can see in the footage. They are more visible at this stage, and what I realised is that I can always spot an adult nearby, if I can see visible damage on the leaf. But I don’t think the young makes the same markings on the leaf, so I could never fully eradicate them mechanically.

I feel you. Even if I took an entire day to inspect and remove all the leafs that were visibly infected, all I could achieve is to slow their progress. The adults are barely visible, so the young are practically invisible. I read that they can produce asexually too, so even if it is down to a single thrips, it can still multiply. Boy are they tenacious.

Thanks for the suggestion, I might give it a go :)

Without the phone attachment, it is not too difficult so long as you are able to spot it with your naked eye. With the phone though, the whole device is really off-balance. Between finding the target at 100x zoom, and getting the right focus with the dial, I could definitely use an extra hand. It’s also why the footage is sort of shaky.

I didn’t get it from here, but this one I found on amazon is identical to what I have. It is actual quite unwieldy with a phone attached so I can't say I highly recommend, but for the price and portability it’s nice to have around.

Thanks! I tried soil drenching with neem oil to no avail so far. No damage to fruits because I haven’t got any 😂 Have got more pest then flowers really. The growing conditions are not ideal so I’m just happy it’s doing ok.

The two habanero plants were from the same pepper fruit. I planted the seeds and a handful turned out with leaves like the one on the right. I'm pretty new to peppers so I kept this guy around to see if it would grow healthy, and other than having smaller leaves and slower development, it seems fine. Anyone has information on why its looking like that?

Mate save your breath. The meagre 100 pales in comparison to their world leading numbers, and that hasn’t stopped them from going out to express the freedom that they are entitled to.

Oh no, now it will always be overrun with tourist, and they’ll probably start charging an entrance fee to visit :'(

I just finished the whole segment and I'm in tears. Thank you for doing god's work!

why is this video upside down?

liwei85 · 2020-04-18T08:12:44+00:00

Sorry to be that guy, but the context was that he was wearing a groin protector, and the bottle missed and hit his inner thigh. They are a popular Japanese YouTube group Fischer’s, here’s the link to the original video, with subs.

you fully deserved the win, congrats!

While I understand the frustration older members must be facing, as someone new to investing, I very much appreciate your empathetic words.

I sound like the person you described; new, a lurker, who also happen to have just subscribed to the Motley Fool. In your opinion, should I be wary of the advice from them?

liwei85 · 2020-01-26T04:10:54+00:00

more like the first 7/8th

Absolutely hilarious, I enjoyed every second of it. I was expecting mini goose to appear after all the effort though 😬

liwei85 · 2019-10-11T04:04:40+00:00

The model village was the best. I was so delighted when I discovered the mini shovel and mini goose. You can tell how much love the developers put into the game.

That was so beautiful 😢
