Food source, shelter and stress describe why a hibiscus has little green bugs. It is likely that the insects in question are aphids (Aphidoidea superfamily) since the latter are voracious feeders on hibiscus. Aphids leave when ladybugs (Coccinellidae family) show up or with horticultural oil against their eggs and insecticidal soap against all other life stages.

∙ 14y agoAphids [Aphidoidea superfamily] most likely are the little green bugs on your hibiscus. They're voracious eaters. They particularly favor hibiscus for winter time snacks. They'll be gone once the ladybugs [Coccinellidae family] show up. Otherwise, organic treatments with horticultural oil and insecticidal soap work slowly, but safely and surely.
