I posted yesterday because I found white/brown spots on one of my plants on about 30 leaves Im ended up been 80% sure it was nutrition burn. But I just found this bug on it. It's tiny and I can only find one on it. Does anyone know what it is?
That's zoomed in alot. I'm based in NSW Australia. I don't think it's what's causing the spots because there only on one plant and there all right next to each other so if it was bugs it's be on all of them wouldnt it?
But yea I've googled searched it but can't identify the type of insect can anyone help?

could be a springtail, apparently they live in soil and eat decaying plant matter...i dont mind some minor bug damage as it triggers the plant to put out more oils and turpines to deter the pesky critters.

Welcome!
I don't know what kind of insects you have in your neck of the woods, But when I see that kind of damage on my plants there are usually leafhoppers or thrips around!

That thing is not a thrip, so here's a leafhopper larvae... Idk if its a match but close maybe?!

Yea I ended up doing a bit more research and I think your right I think it is a leafhopper. Are they bad for your plant? And if they are what's the best way to get rid of them
