As usual, plants that I tend to introduce into an environment seem to gather their own wildlife, as I mentioned earlier. Gnats have gone from "a few" to "several" in very little time. I'm not exactly sure how they are thriving, but they are. I set out to find a spider to control my problem passively.
Instead I found a lady bug nymph! It may not have any effect on my gnats, but I'm excited to see if it cruises for scales. I have long suspected that I only see the mature and established scales, which I have been removing from my plant, but that there was some dense subculture of immature scales. I think that my young lady bug friend will be able to infiltrate the source and thrive. Now if only it could move a little faster maybe it could catch some gnats as well!
