Howdy rollitup! I found my first bug today, third grow ): Anyway, I already had some yellow sticky paper so I stuck the bug to it and took a few photos and all came out kind of blurry... sorry about that. Can anyone ID these little fuckers so I can buy the right predators? He was jumping from leaf to leaf and appeared to be able to fly.

Found what appear to be the eggs if it helps any in IDing these guys.

just spent an interesting 30 minutes googling bugs, all i can tell you is it isn't an aphid, a thrip, a white fly, or a fungus gnat....be damned if i can find a picture that looks like that

have you sprayed anything recently? the info on white flies said they excrete "honeydew"...sticky fluid thats sweet, attracts ants. your leaves look kind of...sticky

No I've never sprayed anything that's just how my leaves look ): White flys do kind of look similar minus being transparent, maybe I caught an immature one?

thats what i was thinking, but i couldn't find a pic that looked like that. i think i'd try treating them as white flies and see if it works. not sure how expensive white fly predators are...if they exist, but you'll know if they will or won't eat them

Seems like a good bet for whatever it is!
