What kind of bug is this and should I be worried about him? I accidentally knocked him off the stem and couldn't find him to smoosh.




Yes a fairly large picture was in order so you can clearly see him. I would have gotten a better picture but like I said accidents happen.


Also a question on moths...should I worry if I have tons of them all over the grow room?

Yeah he is clear. I wanted to destroy him he was just that creepy looking. While I have someone posting in here and on the subject of bugs take a look at this bug...I have them all over my house every night they come out in SWARMS...I am talking about the entire driveway covered with these guys...



they look like tiny shrimp when they die...they jump all over the place and are black when they are alive...haven't seen them on my plants but was just curious.

haha that picture is in macro mode and that stick is actually a tiny leaf it just looks really big they are about |-----| that big. I don't even kill them they just die...it is the weirdest thing I can hose down the driveway one day and the next morning it will be covered in dead bugs just like that one.

Those look like june bugs - not a threat as far as I know

But the first one looks like a lacewing, not really sure, but it's worth hunting down.

cicadas are scary as hell,but they are harmless,we get em in ny every few years,but when they are fully emerged they look even scarier than that pic,they look like giant flies with bloody red eyes...and inch and a half long atleast and a inch thick,if they werent so harmless i would think they were a threat

The "shrimp" looking bugs are called "Lawn Shrimp" or House Hoppers...they're in the family Talitridae. Found mostly in LA basin and Houston, Tx.
Article I found on Google said their appearance is a sign of overwatering (lawn, etc.).
