Help !!! Identify This Bug

It hasn't gotten outa hand but im afraid of a full bown infestation. Im about to go into the 2nd week of flowering and if i need to spray i want to do it inmediately

Is that the biggest one you could find? It looks similar to a potato leafhopper in a very young stage, but there would be adults on your plants too

 

[Mr.X]

I havent found any bigger, but the damage is actually similar to that of a grasshopper. Small chews not much damage, very little progression since i first noticed it and mostly localized to a few plants and it hasnt spread. I've been going over each plant very carefully ( AND THERE ARE MANY ) for a couple of days and haven't found any other creature. Thank you for responding. What do you think my best approach would be? Keep in mind im begining my 2nd week of flowering.

I have no idea if you can smoke buds that have food grade diotom. earth on them, good luck

 

[Mr.X]

I can still spray them with clean h20, i don't even have pre-flowers yet. Im saying though what is the actual species ?

 

[Mr.X]

You can eat DE its actually good for you.

Yeah i didn't even answer, i know DE acts like shrapnell and it pierces the exoskeleton and critters bleed out or they dehydrate because they breathe through the skin. Im inclined 2 use this tomorrow. Thanx 4 takin the time 2 help, i greatly appreciate it. P.S; any idea on WTF it is though ?
