<p>the larger orange and black bug does look like a ladybug larvae to me..</p>
<p>the gnats look like what i had a while back.. ladybugs took care of aphids, nematodes got the gnats under control</p>

<p>They look like aphids and they are hard to get rid of without hurting the system. I ended up pulling up my watermelons and flooding the bed over night to get rid of them and the ants that were herding them. The bigger bugs may be eating the aphids.</p>
<p>I want to try ordering ladybugs online to see if they can solve this problem. If you try this cover the bed with some green screen and release the ladybugs at night.</p>

<p>The foto is a bit fuzzy but I'd say the large bug is a lady bug larva...in one of it's many phases...Try the worm tea...any oil recipe should be used with caution because of the fish...</p>
<p>It seems like with an AP greenhouse a good idea is to come up with a decent, scheduled Integrated Pest Management Program (basically seeding various predatory bugs/larva in the GH, in phase with pest life cycles)...the fish really seem to limit your bug control options unfortunately... I feel for you…</p>
