Right now theres only about 2 or 3 of these little fuckers racing over my cannabis leaves, they do fly also and they are impossible to catch I already bought pesticides I will get them on Saturday.

Picture below


There's also these little fuckers too but I know exactly what they are, these little ants are straight from the pits of hell, they are called wasmannia auropunctata they don't seem like much only measuring about 1mm long, but their bite packs a extremely painful punch lasting over an hour and they are a plague here in Cuba, these little fuckers killed the entire citrus industry. Cuba used to be filled with the best oranges you could ever eat, I have been here for about a year now, and I still haven't seen the first orange. These little guys are not to be messed with. The pesticides I bought will also kill them.
