Pest and the battle ahead

Hi I'm new here second yr growing. I was looking thru the forms and didn't find much on bugs or pest and how to defeat them. I'm on the eastern part of us and Dnt know what to use to help my plants and hurt the bugs. For instance what the heck is this bug?? Never seen it til today not last years grow either.
If I missed something plz direct me to the right forum to read.

Thanks

i have moved your thread to the proper location which is the bug forum

Are there a lot of these bugs and is there any leaf damage? Sevin? some love it some hate it.

Didn't notice any but I did see a web stuff from its rear...is sevin gd for most garden pests? I'll check again after wrk tomorrow

leaf hoppers the nymphs have fuzzy butts.

Yea they disappeared now... spider mites r tryin to move in. One plant n the corner is gettin it bad. I spray every morning from bottom to top but seems to do very Lil. Is there a home remedy for mites? I cnt keep spending this kind of money on azamax I got bills lol.
Nice water only grow btw.

Thanks. Dunking is the most effective way.

Are they in the ground or pots?

I have this big shoe tote. What I do if the plant fits I lay it on its side so all the leaves are in the tote. I take a pump sprayer and spray it down all the way around every leaf including the stalk. I have broken branches even a stalk so be careful. shake it off so everything drips into the shoe tote. I use a nylon stocking to strain the solution back into the pump sprayer this way you don't waste it. I know what you mean it can get expensive

Well I'm already out lol. They are n pots on the ground. I used this stuff called sevin on it and it wrkd great jus everytime I handled them I needed a shower. They are upwards of seven feet now and I'm starting to have trouble simply containing them inside the greenhouse.
I did the hol baking soda n water thing but it screwed my ph up so I dnt wann do that again...
I'll keep lookin and see what I can find thanks for ur input ill definitely do that next time
