My JWP is covered with these little bugs so I sprayed the shit out of them. Looks like some kind of aphid

Noticed some unhappy and crumpled leaves on my hawthorne. Under further observation, I found this little guy. He has been kindly asked to remove himself from the premises (thrown off my rooftop garden). Anything I should do to prevent further damage or infestation?

Sometimes I find undesirables in the moss keeping warm and hidden.
Get some praymantis and ladybirds

Yes, I plan to do a surface cleaning on this tree this summer, as I’ve never liked the way the previous owner top dresses. Definitely hope to get some friendly bugs in my garden, but I worry they’d struggle on my rooftop with a lack of resources. Definitely when I move and get a backyard.
Most of them have wings and can relocate if needed.

Snatched the image off the internet, I guess I deleted my photos, but Box Elder Bug. Don’t remember ever seeing them before, but they took over Southern Alberta last fall. They’re supposed to be mostly harmless, but annoying, and stinky if you squish them. Also found out the hard way they really like bright colors. Went outside in a bright salmon t-shirt and was covered!

I have box elder bugs around my house, worst part about them for me is when the fall cold sets in and the try and get into the house, garage, shed, or any place warm. Same with stink bugs and Asian beetles.

Yep seems my neighbour got infested. Her cat is having a ball. And she wonders why I sprayed the whole house with dish soap.I have box elder bugs around my house, worst part about them for me is when the fall cold sets in and the try and get into the house, garage, shed, or any place warm.

I saw this spider munching on some small winged insect yesterday - checking today I see it ‘tending’ to these two small ‘masses’.
I’m glad I was paying attention! I see little ‘sugar’ ants tending to them as well.
Fortunately I caught it early and hand removed the scale since there were only about a half +\- dozen.
I’m tempted to just check regularly - but I have used systemic in the past, and I’m also considering being proactive and applying some, just in case…

I knew ants ranched. Didn’t know spiders were in on the ranching thing.

@Mad Tabby - I’m not sure if the spider was tending to the scale , but it was right near it, and it definitely got my attention (fortunately!).
Another small spider took up residence in a Japanese Maple, and is doing its job.
It took a while to get a pic, I’m not skilled in taking close ups of small spiders!
