I need to use a proper camera to get a focused shot. With my aging eyes I assumed the larger critter was a ladybug.
I’ll post if I can get a better shot.
Thanks

I was only able to pick up the Immunox for lawn at my local big box store.
Since there is no fruit on the trees in question I wonder if it’s safe to spray on the whole tree.

Not sure about your climate. This time of the year, no fruits on the tree, I sprayed fungicides, foliage spray of high P&K to maintain the foliage and promote the flower buds. My cherry trees had aphids problem earlier summer and now it looks like there are another batch of aphids are growing on the leaves. I may spray insecticide too if it gets bad. Within a month, my cherry tree had copper, and immunox, one in mid/end of July and one recently. I like copper to control or prevent bacterial diseases on my fruit trees especially pear trees. Since I mix a tank, I just spray to other fruit trees that can take the copper. I was bagging grapes few days ago. I sprayed immunox before I bag. Part of tankful immunox went to cherry tree.
You can get concentrated immunox at Amazon. It is cheaper to mix it yourself.

Thanks @IL847
I need to figure out what to spray on what and when. I know apricots don’t like copper, or so I’ve read, but I don’t know if apriums suffer too for their parentage.
I don’t know what benefit I’ll get but will spray the trees and the lawn around them tomorrow. I’ve pruned off the affected branches.

I am waiting for the fruit to ripen, then I will start with the systemic first. All of the peaches were picked today!

Sprayed iImmunox on my little trees. Damn that $20 hose spray container was more than 1/2 used with just one spray.
Definitely need to get the concentrate.

Could these be stink bugs?

Brown marmorated stink bug according to an insect identifying app.
The eggs look like factory stamped ping pong balls…

Yes, BMSB nymphs, every effort should be made to destroy these.
The Shibumi image above was focused well enough. Oftentimes the angle or perspective of the photo is more important than the focus. I have IDed insects before that are a blur, but the outline was apparent.

My melon leaves developed these light green spots. I am not sure what are these. I just sprayed the plant with Bonide copper. I am wondering if I used the correct fungicide or not? Should I follow up with another spray or this is all it needs.

So this isn’t insect damage. Lapins Cherry. The closest March I see in searching is cherry leaf scorch. Copper spray? I used Immunox last week not knowing what I was facing.
This butterfly is trapped in my small green house. Can anyone tell me what kinda butterfly it is and what its worms eat?
