Zuchinni Pest what is it??

[Sarah McKergow]

Hi there! I'm a newbie gardener and so far this year we've had some great success starting our plants from seed which has been very rewarding! Today I gently opened a zuchinni flower and it started to poor out these tiny little mite looking bugs (blah! I hate pretty much all bugs but lady bugs and not just because of gardening...)! Either way would anyone mind giving me advice on what these guys are and if they need to be treated? My zuchinni plants are doing great and the fruit look fantastic! Thank you!

If it is orange and black it is probably a lady bug larvae. If you could get a better picture it would be a big help

I will see if I can get another picture here later with my actual camera. If that is in fact what they are is there anything that I need to do?

If that is what they are don't do anything except hope for more of them.

The problem is a slug/snail.
