I’ve found 4 so far. Fast little buggers. All on my tray not on the plants. First one found when I moved one of my coco pots. I do not see typical spotted white/black leaf damage on any leafs at this point either. My hunch is a Thrip still... see attached video and picture.
I’m mid flower. I’ve read Spinosad is best to kill... just not sure if I can spray this late in flower. I don’t want any chemicals on my buds.. true medicine for me and my friends/family.
I have Plant Therapy and can use it if you guys agree it works on Thrips. Any help out there??
Don't spray spinosad, use tanglefoot tangletrap sticky coating to paint the bottom of your stalks near the media. Then they can't climb your plant to eat it.
It is not a thrip.
It's some kind of bee. Notice the antenna and the double section thorax.
It looks like a drone. The eyes are too big for a worker and way too big for a Queen.
I wonder if you have a bee hive living in your home and they are coming inside now. I've seen it happen.
I sent the mug shot to an Entymologist at the University of Michigan. He said it's a Rove Beetle and they eat other bugs and decaying plant matter but are harmless to growing plants. Take the stickies out and add more beetles!
