Green Chilli Pepper - Agricultural Pest
Aphids infest ripening green chilli peppers (Capsicum annuum) on a plant in Tehatta, West Bengal, on January 06, 2026, as a marmalade hoverfly rests on a leaf nearby. The pungent, dark green chilies are widely used in Indian curries and chutneys, but pests such as aphids, thrips and mites can damage fruits and stunt plant growth.
