Hi there,
And sorry about that: I'm not speaking of a bonsai here but of the Chinese willow I've got in my yard, but as I'm sure some of you guys will know how to help I post it anyway.
So it's a willow in my yard, it grows like weed. I have to trim it at least 3 times during the growing season and I was actually doing that when I realized it was covered of bugs:
They don't look like the one I know but they behave like aphids, stuck on the branches in lines'
And they must be very sweet as I had their blood all over my hands and it was sticky and sweet as if I had squashed berries.
So my questions are:
1) what are they?
2) could they be a problem for us (like entering the house by the windows despite the bugs net or spawning some flies or other kind of alien-like crap?) as the tree obviously doesn't mind so I won't fumigate the freaking 15' tall tree just for fun
