But, thrips are tiny, like you need a magnifier to see clearly right?That is shaped like a thrip.
Final answer.
I'll give it a go. Thanks.Im not sure if you have it on your phone or not, but i use the google camera for bugs. It works pretty well.
If you aren't sure what im talking about i attached a photo. View attachment 1283966
It does look like a possible thrip, i have been fortunate enough and havent had any bugs in the 4 years ive been growing so i dont even know what a skirskii is. I mean i have some treehoppers in my outdoor stuff but im not winning that fight so i gave up. I would take the DE approach as ive seen it recommended for bugs quite often and everyone seems happy with the results.I'll give it a go. Thanks.
If these bugs are actually thrips, which I question because of their large size, will skirskii alone take care of the issue? I have several slow release skirskii mite bags on my plant.
I do have some DE. I hesitate to use it because I just put out swirskii - which are suppose to voraciously eat thrips and white flies.I am a fan of diatomaceous earth. It’s all natural and you can put it in the soil and underside of your leaves during flowering. It saved me from my pests issues and DE will get rid of that kind of pest as well.
I prefer DE as it’s natural. It doesn’t cause any harm to animals, humans or worms if you’re in organic material. It only destroys soft shelled pests and the powder slices them open and dehydrated them from the outside in, it’s pretty gnarly. It also will get rid of any eggs. It’s great preventative and also helps when they’re already there.I do have some DE.

I might have to go this route anyway though.
The conotelus bug is harmless to cannabis supposedly, and I quite suspect thats what these are. Hard to decide what action to take when you aren't sure what the bug is.
Wreaks havoc on the lungs. Extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation when airborne.... It doesn’t cause any harm to animals, humans...
Well yeah if you’re spreading this stuff across huge landscapes without a breathing mask. Its always best to have mouth covering when dealing with any kind of agricultural dust material. I wouldn’t say go huff a big bag of itWreaks havoc on the lungs.
So the reason I gave the answer that I did... I used the picture you supplied of the varmint on your thumb, I clicked it to it's full resolution on my cell phone. I then used Google Lens to narrow down my focus on the picture to just the bug. Voila - It returns this as it's best choice... and it damn sure looks to me like that monster on your thumb. And yeah, there could be another, larger, look-alike bug... but I still like my answer.I do have some DE.
