Morning all, first I must say you all have helped me make this first time experience wonderful !! Into other matters. There is no damage that I can see on my plant, she is about 4 weeks into flower and now I am finding these little shits !! I generally do not like bugs so when a new one gets introduced to my space I kind of freak, especially on this beautiful plant. Also I see a lot of people talking about mites, what would be the tell tale sign of them ?? See photos on both subjects
I spot the colourful looking bug on my plants outside all the time. I believe they are fire flys. Great pics, really neat up close like that. It doesn't look they cause much harm as they won't nest and web (at least i don't think). Might potentially take a nipple here and there. As for the other pics I am not sure
I have the boring long skinny green ones, They hang out in the veggie garden during the day then come into the greenhouse at night to get high, I tried leaving a cup at the door asking for donations but I figure they were to small to carry change or maybe they are just being dicks. Well I went and got me an electric fly swatter for under 10 bucks and and laid some genocide on their ass.
All kidding aside the electric fly swatter did a half decent job just give the plants a little shake I am sure it will keep the population down if I keep on top of it (I get lazy) I would spray but my plants are well into flower and trichomes are setting in. I will see them tonight,,,, I might even wear my superman tights.

Picture #4 looks alot like spider mites to me. Notice the tine web. Pics alittle fuzzy but I have a suspicion. Scope again, Google spider mites and make your own conclusion.
