Please Help Name This Kind Of Bug?

I Have This Bug That Was Eating Up My Plant Stems Like Crazy!
I Have Never Seen This Bug Associated With MJ So I'm Not Sure What It Is And How To Kill Or Prevent Because Neem Oil Doesn't Work With These Bugs, I've Tried Already And They Just ComeBack For More.

P.S. It Has Wings And Flys If That Helps Any

Jim Weevil.

How about Jim Steve? Or Jimmy Steven?


On a much more serious note (because I don't think this bodes well for our brother DvD), there's a site dedicated to helping you figure out what the bug is.

Here's a weird one I knew nothing about and never saw before moving up here. Just saw one the other day.

I find one of these always works. Failsafe, and it doesn't harm the environment as long as it's used properly.

I've been seeing them on my plants too. No clue what they are, but they haven't been causing any damage that I've noticed.

Hey,

To me it looks like a "Palomena prasina" (prasina is green but it's same family), very usual insect in europa, this bug can "fart" a stinky thing if it is afraid.
This bug eats sucking plant blood, and put its eggs on leaves.

I hope it helps.

I do not think that it is a weevil. It looks like a "True Bug" I think the order is Hemiptora.

Hey I've been looking into that since I've seen them too and want to know what they are. They are a type of stink bug. I found a website with very good pictures but they are copyrighted and I wanted to respect that. Here's the website though if you are interested.

Its called a Brown Marmorated stink bug. Try to collect them as you see them. Don't kill them in your garden. If you do, the scent of the dead ones attracts more...

Yay For Capital First Letters Even If They Dont Have To!

haha sorry man i noticed that in the first post, made me laugh, no idea why. thought i'd mention.

Yeah i'd name him Phil. I'd IDENTIFY him as some bug, regardless of what it is have you pulled out an usual stops?? or are you posting this just because he's like the terminator and immune to everything?.... lol

stomp em out man, make sure your incoming air is clean., put a screen over it if a filter is a no go.

i've never seen those, even in the wild lol. crazy!

Thats a stink bug.

Some of them smell so bad you can taste it when you are close, and they spray.
