Before planting our seed potatoes, Julia noticed some critters had invaded some of the sprouts on one of the potatoes. We took turns observing them and we're still trying to identify them.
Over the weekend, Julia and her Mom identified the critters infesting our potato sprouts as one of over 275 species of mealybugs. Here's Julia's photo using her "Zoomy" camera microscope.
