Its a small to medium striped beetle thats hops around fast and leave brown spots on my herbs. Its on almost all my herbs but not on surrounding roses or flowers.
I sprayed with insecticial soap but don't know if that will kill them.
Does anybody know what they are and how to get rid of them without using chemicals?
