These things love to go for the light and hang out at the top. They fly and jump quite well. They seem to tolerate both high and low humidity.
I haven't seen any obvious damage, but I can't identify them and want to make sure they aren't a real problem. My smaller grows had a few, but since I expanded they have as well. They fly towards the light during drying so at least I don't have to worry about that.

Any ideas ?

Hmm, sorta hard to tell. The 2nd pic looks fuzzy, but it could be a few things...

Do they actually fly, or just seem to jump really damn well, or jump and flutter their wings? It sort of looks like a leafhopper of some variety. Leafhoppers are shaped like that, and usually hang out on the tops of plants and other stuff. Most suck plant sap with a specialized mouth part, few are predatory, and some eat leaves. There are a wide variety of leafhoppers.

Can I see more pictures?

Yeah that looks like a leafhopper to me too. If you can get a good close up of their wings and the underside of their head I can give you a positive ID from a bug key, but most likely it's a leafhopper.

Yep, those look like leafhoppers to me.


Good luck! I copied and pasted some info from this site:

Spot Them Early
If you had a problem with leafhoppers last year, then you will likely have them around again, and it is important to spot them early so they don't build up their population. They are attracted to yellow sticky traps. Place two or three in the vicinity of the vulnerable plants at the same level as the plants. When you see just one or two, then check the plants on the undersides of the leaves. If you see more, then it is time to take some action.

Using No Insecticides
If you move quickly, you can crush nymphs between your thumb and forefinger before they move away.

Netting or Fleece Barrier - You want to prevent the leafhopper's access to the vulnerable plants. Nylon netting, fine screening, or agricultural fleece are all effective barriers, preventing leafhoppers from laying eggs at the plant's stem. Use floating covers that rest directly on plants, or create tunnels supported by braces. Set up the barrier immediately after planting to prevent any leafhoppers from infecting the plants. Seal all the edges to the ground.

Try Natural Insect Repellent Sprays
There are a number of botanic repellent sprays available for use against Leafhoppers and many other pest insects. These products both kill and/or repel. Leafhoppers doused with these sprays either die or move. New Leafhoppers coming along avoid the area with the repellent spray for several days to a few weeks. Go to the section in Yardener's Tool Shed called Natural Insect Repellents.

Using Natural Insecticides
There are a number of effective natural insecticides made from materials such as chrysanthemum blossoms (pyrethrum), neem oil soap, or light horticultural oil. These products are found in many independent garden centers, and are labeled for controlling Leafhoppers. There is detailed information about each product in Yardener’s Tool Shed in the section for Natural Insecticides.

Use Synthetic Pyrethroid Insecticides
An effective method for killing Leafhoppers is to spray them with a pyrethroid insecticides such as resmethrin or permethrin. These products are found in many independent garden centers, and are labeled by the EPA for controlling Leafhoppers. There is detailed information about each product in Yardener’s Tool Shed in the section Synthetic Insecticides.

Yeah, those are leafhoppers. No doubt in my mind.

The above post is good. Garden stores even this time of year, will have a few products for leafhoppers such.
