Teeny, Tiny Small black bugs underneath my Chrysanthamum Leaves?
Question:I went to water my Chrysanthamum plant today outside, and noticed these really teeny tiny (about flea sized) black bugs almost Solid underneath the leaves. What could they be?
Answers:
I'm not sure, but it does sound like aphids if there are a bunch, and under the leaves. Here is a link on insects that go after mums.
If it is aphids, you'll have to use a pesticide to get rid of them, it won't be easy since they are under the leaves.

Good luck!
they may be black aphid
sounds like spidermites they are horrid little things..get a lg spraybottle squirt some antibakterial dishsoap in it pour a little oil in it (apx 1 to 2 TBSP each) and fill the bottle with water ; shake it up; and let them have it soak the plant with it ; this also works for aphids! Just do not do that in the heat of the day.You might have to repeat it once but by the next day
you should see a great improvement. Good luck!
