I posted a while ago about some "white stuff" in my Hibiscus bushes.
I was told maybe one of a few types of insects. Nothing conclusive. I chainsaws the two bushes and got rid of them.
However, now the white stuff has shown up on another bush. Under close inspection I can see that ants are hovering in the same general area as the white.
I've taken new photos.
Is this a symbiotic relationship with the ants and the parasite. Or are this type of ants the issue?
They are not the biting type. And I have never attempted to get rid of them.
(Just fire ants.)
