I recently have been finding dozens of these on my SugarBelle (3-years, in ground, central Florida, gets rain and bugs everyday). Clearly they are pests, since every leaf I find them on is partially eaten (only new growth).
What is this?
And I’ve tried spraying with a hose, neem oil, soapy water, and every day there seems to be more. I squish them by the dozen, but would love to know what they are and what to do about them. They are extremely destructive to my new growth.

I have been having a problem with black lubbers invading my SugarBelle (3-year old, in-ground, Central Florida). I know the black lubbers are invasive and highly damaging.
Now I am seeing larger, yellowish ones all over.
Are these the same invasive pests that I’ve been tirelessly squishing, or are these native, harmless varieties?
To squish or not to squish?

I have noticed a bunch of these spiders on the new growth of my SugarBelle (3 yr old in-ground in Central Florida).
These are good spiders, right? And not the cause of spider-mites I hope?
I only see them running around at night, and never seen them hanging out in a web.
I am hoping these are indigenous carnivorous pest-eaters and not harming my citrus foliage. If they are invasive, I would love to know.
Any help on identifying this spider would be appreciated!

Found several of these large all-black bees on my SugarBelle (Central Florida, in-ground, 3-years old) and I’m not sure what kind of bee it is.
They are huge at 1.25-1.50 inches (about 3.5cm) and slow moving.
It appears to have a hairy abdomen; so, I don’t think it is a carpenter bee.
What kind of insect is this? Is it good or bad or invasive?
Any help would be appreciated!

On my in-ground SugarBelle in Florida (3-years in ground, after almost 2 years under net) I am finding these small, hard, round specimens (eggs?) on the new growth only!
These are the size of a grain of sand and are not possible to squish with fingers. When pressed between two hard surfaces, they crack like mini-eggs squirting a tiny amount of goop.
They will not wash off with heavy streams of water, and Neem oil and soap mixtures don’t appear to do anything. They feel like they are “glued” to the new leaves and I have to pluck them individually from each leaf.
They are all over the new growth. What are they and what should be done with them?
Thanks for any help!

This large insect was found hanging out on some leaves of my Sugarbelle (3-year old Florida tree, in-ground).
I assume it is a pest that doesn’t need to be on my tree. So I squished it. Did I do the right thing? Is it good/bad or ugly? And what the heck is it?
