Found these guys today

...and tons of aphids on my pepper plant. Well, not as many as could be- I think I killed them all, but by far the largest amount yet I have seen in my garden. i found the spider in my sugar snap peas and the caterpillar on my pepper plant. I am trying to get them identified by bugguide.net.




Also, the bottom of my sugar snap peas are beginning to turn yellow. I know they are a cool season crop, but I definitely did not get the amount of peas out of them that I was told I would. I got about a few handfuls, when you are supposed to get a bucketful per plant. I hope they are not dying. =(
