    I have several vegetables in raise garden beds and am trying to find out what kind of bug this is. They are all over my corn. Don't really seem to see any negative affects yet but my corn isn't full grown yet. I'm very new to gardening. Are these just aphids? I live in northern central california. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Hello and welcome to GC, you will like it here :spinning:

    They are not aphids, much too large and not enough in number.

    I don't know what the bug is, but there are very knowledgeable people on here like @shiney , @Kristen who will probably know. You never know they could be 'good' bugs:blue thumb:

      Welcome to GC :blue thumb:

      That's what I would have said as well.

      If there are only a few you can remove them by hand or hose them off. Just check the plants regularly and try and hose them off when you're watering the plants. Check the plants around them for infestation.
