Spinosad did nothing to nymphs!

Those look like leaf footed bug nymphs which the only thing I know that will get rid of them is to manually squash them. You can drown the smaller nymphs

So I ended up just mustering up the courage to flick them into a cup of soapy water. I found a strangler or two for the next few days, and now I haven’t seen any. This classic technique worked great, but I only have a few plants so it may be more difficult if you have a yard full of them lol. I’m gonna get some cantaloupes ripening soon, so I’ll be on the lookout for a resurgence of them
