Spotted some bugs. Should I be concerned?

Maximum_Relaxation · May 31, 2021

I found a few of these bugs on my plants recently, and I haven’t been able to identify them online. Not sure if these are something I should be concerned about or not.
Plants are living outdoors currently.
Sorry for the crap photos, I’ll try to catch a better angle when I spot another one.

Looks like a beetle. BUT you have spider webs, could be just a garden spider.

I’d be putting some DE down around your plant.

That’s kind of what we thought, was a beetle. The little spider web looking things are just pollen or dandelion fuzz. There isn’t any actual webs that I’ve seen.
I will keep an eye on it, though. Thank you for your reply.

I’ll have to look into that. Not sure what DE is. Thanks for the reply.

Diatomaceous Earth

Can you collect a sample of the insect? It looks like a beetle. If you can grab one with tweezers and snap a photo over a white sheet of paper it can be identified.

Appreciate that.
I will check them when I get back home and see if I can. Thanks again!
