aphids! (self.carnivorousplants)

I have aphids on my sundew. They started on my Venus fly trap and migrated. I think by some miracle I got rid of them on the Venus fly trap by using alcohol and a qtip. However the sundew seems infested.

I have a bottle of neem oil coming send I was hoping to get both application advice and folks' experience with it.

Other ideas welcome. Thank you in advance.

I had the same issue - seems like aphids really like sundews, since none were on the venus flytraps. I just... picked off every aphid, made sure to check under all the leaved and all the nooks and crannies. I managed to eradicate them after a couple passes.
