Hey, guys, I have been seeing theese fu***ers stuck in my greenhouse plastic all the time, didnt think anything of it, now I just went out in the nighttime and found one of them on a bud site, flicked it off with a knife. Then I found ANOTHER one on a lettuce plant next to my plant and now I’m starting to wonder whether or not I should let them be or start using some insecticides. I have no other insects living on my plants, except maybe an ant passing by on the pot. I have some damage on the leaves, but I always thought it was from droplets burning holes in them, maybe theyre the ones causing it. So I am asking for your input

It's an earwig.

I don't know if that's what's doing all of the leaf munching though, but they do eat foliage. You want them out of there.

I started a plant about a week ago and the day it popped through I noticed one of the cotyledons was half missing and the tips were gone off the first true sets of leaves. The only thing I found out of the ordinary was a fat one of those fuckers. So I'm going with foe.
