I thought that was the one you were planning to smoke.

 

My Iraqi neighbour, who makes something wrapped in vine leaves from the leaves of the vine that comes over his other fence, took the dish around to the vine owner - who was surprised that his climber was being used for lunch.

My other thoughts were:

Neem oil with a "few drops of mild detergent" in a water spray I'm reading widely. The detergent to help as the oil won't readily mix with water. I don't want to use washing up liquid...need a "natural" soap of some sort. @SteamyTea any thoughts?

Hmm... I'm going to stick with Capsids.  The Southern Green Shield bug is known to favour beans.
