Message: [QUOTE="Marck, post: 225511, member: 15114"] The insect (?) in the first photo is not clear. The insects in the second photo are the larvae of Fungus Gnats (Sciaroidea, Diptera). Direct damage by Fungus Gnats is generally minor, but the presence of a Fungus Gnat population is often indicative of excessive soil moisture. [I]Aloe, [/I]such as [I]Aloe vera[/I], grow best in fast-draining soil with moderate irrigation. let soil mostly dry, before the next irrigation. The container should have drainage holes and it should not be left to sit in a flooded saucer. [I]Aloe vera[/I] also grows best with direct sunlight, though it can survive in very bright indirect light as well. [/QUOTE]
