Seriously these guys just keep coming. i have a lot of clean beautiful plants because I spot these bastards and take care of them.

The net pot's contents were violently rinsed with hot water and anti-bacterial dawn. I tossed the hydroton out of fear from hatching aphids.

man is that green thing the aphid? we get the little white flies on plants, and they are a pain. You got to spray for weeks. On non pot I have used melathion and on consumables I would use pyrethrin and always mosquito dunks to kill any larvae of any kind. Good luck.

yeaaaah i promise its an aphid. the flash might have blurred him a little. i dont see the full rice-grain sized ones if not one every few days. i can't wait for my 8lb bag of rabbit farm DE. they're all gonna DIE.. of dehydration.

Looks like some form of leaf mimic or katydid.

I swear on gods green earth it is. Half a grain of rice in size, matches the image I've seen all my life in general nature. the flash reacted with it's translucent typical skin.

but you know, I JUST this last few minutes got done drenching my balcony with soapy water because we saw this on the side of our building..

is it possible that there are miniature katydids!?
