Tarev, thank you! I will only cut the affected leaves off since I am hoping to have some blooms this winter. I'll just have to see what happens. I don't know the best method for getting rid of bugs. Last year I sprayed my amaryllis with soapy water and that was mostly effective, but I read recently that another method is to run a LOT of water through the plant to wash any critters out. (A variation of that is to put the pot/soil in water up to 3/4 of the way up the pot so that the critters scurry up and out...although why they wouldn't just rest on top and wait for the water to recede and then go back in the soil in is beyond me...)
