Would anyone be able to advise on a insect I have found on the underside of my Rhododendron leaves. The plants are a few months old bought in a nursery. On the underside of the leaves are tiny reddish brown insects. Would anyone know what they may be?

    Can you post a photo?  The two most likely are aphids and lacebug (Stephanitis.)  Look those up in google to see if yours are similar.  You might need a magnifying glass to see them more clearly.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
