Hello,
I think the leaves of my elephant bush are strongly damaged by a pest which I cannot recognised.
these bugs are very small, like green tiny spots that when bigger become black and barely you can see some legs.
I attached some pics of the wrinkled leaves and other with these black bugs.
I have used first bug clear ultra II and then just water and soap, but although the number of bugs seems less, most of the leaves have this aspect like a moon surface.
What is it? solutions?
thanks

damaged leaves stay damaged, also when you remove the sucking insects causing it. not much you can do. Over time the leaves will be replaced.

Thanks,
Have you recognised from the pics what type of insect could be?
