bug identification plz w/pics

Small flying greenish bug don't kno wht they are would love a lil help.

Duuuude, their are soooo many bugs on this planet. Just spray the sucker with something

Also those white spots on the leafs that look like ejaculate.
Are there more and do you susoect they are from something in the water or oowdery mildew.

I get those bugs also.
Not sure what they are.

Those, my friends, are Leafhoppers, and they are a pain in the nuts. They won't eat huge chunks of your plants, but they secrete this sticky sweet residue on the leaves that attracts/grows mold like nothing else.

Thanks guys Hopefully the neem does the job.

This is exactly what NOT to do.

Properly identifying your pest/s is the only way to formulate an effective management strategy.

Misidentification leads to wasted applications and an even larger pest problem.

If indoors, not flowering I would recommend imidacloprid.

I'm thinking this could be a good sig.

Shoot first, ask questions later.

Most pesticides kill upto 100+ diff bugs...incase you didnt know

I mean, not for nothing, but in terms of number of types of bugs, 100+ is pretty low, considering that there are literally millions of types of bugs. For instance, just with leafhoppers, there are more species of leafhoppers alone than there are species of birds and mammals and reptiles and amphibians all combined. Also, with pesticides, they may work on 100+ bugs, but it is very common for them to NOT kill the kind you are trying to kill, especially without identification. BTK kills caterpillars and worms, but doesn't hurt fungus gnats or mosquito, which are killed by BTI, and neither BTK nor BTI effectively kill Sawfly larvae. Harsher chemicals may kill more things, but also may be unsafe to use around pets or unsafe to smoke affected plants after use. Neem and Karanja and Cinnamon oils all have a wide range of uses, but can be difficult to effectively administer and fully eliminate the problem, especially without clogging the plant's stomata if in early veg, or affecting taste if late in bloom. My point is, figuring out what insects you need to control, and which specific control is effective for that insect, is absolutely imperative, to avoid stressing the plant for absolutely no reason, or killing the wrong insect and having the population of the problem insect bloom beyond control. But by all means, continue just spraying wantonly and with reckless abandon, and hoping that you somehow chose the right bottle.

I dont agree with your statement " its very common for them to NOT kill the kind you are trying to kill" A general garden insect killer would do the trick and kills numerous amounts of bugs ( I just threw 100 out there, its more like 1000). Its a no brainer really. I just get frustrated with ppl asking what kind of bug is this"? like we are all entomologists...If they took the time to research the bugs in their ecosystem they wouldnt be asking this question. It hops...hmmm its a hopper...let me buy a garden insect spray that would do the trick

You can disagree with the statement all you want, it remains true. Spraying your plants with the wrong pesticide can easily be like trying to fight a virus with antibiotics. Not only will it not work, it can actually do quite a bit of harm.
