I have lots of red and black insects on one of my flowering bushes laying lots if yellow eggs.
I have taken a picture of one but not sure how to attach, will keep trying.
Does anyone know what they are and how do I get rid of them?
Thanks

They're harmless beetles. The bright red color is for protection from predators. If you really want to get rid of them I thinks it would be best to use the same spray one would use for roaches. Cheers
