| I just planted a peach tree. I noticed holes developing and little black bugs on the leaves. I also noticed a white spider. What can I do to get rid of these insects? |

| This a picture of the spider that I mentioned previously. |

| Can't really see the little black beetles but could be flea beetles. The spider appears to be a white flower spider, a type of crab spider....Misumena vatia. Very nice lady to have in the garden. |
|
| Let the spider eat the bugs. |
|
| I think those are flea beetles. I applied some insecticidal soap. The beetles seemed to have decreased today, but are still present. |
