Thrips
Are tiny no more than 1.5mm but still can be seen by the naked eye
Adults have wings but do not fly well , then tend to hop
The head and body range from yellow to dark brown

Where can thrips be found
Thrips attack the leaves and can usually be found on the top surface of the leaf

Thrips use a saw like to pierce and scrape the flesh until sap begins to flow , they suck up the juice and leave the surface a sappy white or silvery scrapes . Eventually the leaves loose their chlorophyll and turn white

Thrips kinda look like plump small worms and spider mites .....well they look like spiders and as with both of these pest you must apply 3 different treatments of alternating organic (if possible) repellents .... Start with a neem of some sort then alternate with 2 others you can access those online with a simple google search

Best of luck

My information came from marijuana garden saver book but there is numerous threads and sights that will identify bugs as you need to know what your fighting before you fight it but preventative pesticide should be a standard practice
And a picture will get your bug identified here

Have you tried searching Google or something? There's plenty of pics of the pests and the type of damage they leave on the plant!

A picture is worth a 1,000 words!!!
