Hi Mate, it's a Stegobium Paniceum aka "drugstore beetle". So stay relaxed it's totally harmless. Cheers

I could be wrong but it looks like a Drugstore beetle. They like high humidity.

Springtails in Waste water CoCoHi all, I have just watered my almost 3 week old plants, they are in coco, and I collect the waste water to measure my PH values. To my great surprise I saw something moving in my waste water (see photo).
I did some searching on the internet and found that they are springtails.3 years ago

What are these bugs?What are these bugs? I'm not sure if they're thrips or not. The plant is indoors in soil. They've just shown up in the last few days. They're not crawling all over the plants, mostly down at the soil level. I did see a couple on the stalk but they're not up in the leaves/buds.Other. Bugs

What are these bugs?Just discovered these little black bugs. I don't think they're flying. They're mostly on the soil. Some were on the stalk but they don't seem to be on the leaves and buds. I'm growing indoors in organic soil. Not sure if these are a problem or if they'll regulate themselves.Week 14

Difficulty identifying leaf problem - maybe it's insects?I'm having trouble figuring out what's going on with my plant. The cotyledons and lower fan leaves are getting irregular shiny patches varying in size underneath, with yellow spots directly above them on the top side. It's really hard to photograph the shiny patches. Thrips?3 years ago

Help identify pestsNeed help identifying these bugs. I found them under rockwool cubes in the cloner
They seem to like the moisture and were not bothering the vegetation at all. I even found them under a few cubes with no cuts in them. Is it possible that they are fungus nat larvae?Other. Bugs

Luckily im not squeamish so dove in and opened the bud cluster to clean off the webbing and low and behold little tiny caterpillar. Will a fine net stop this?Week 23

Pest control looks like fungus gnats and larvaeEver since this grow i noticed fungus gnats flying around. I always put sticky traps down and would catch an adult every so often but always saw tons of little dots I thought was dust or fabric until I used my scope. I bought a product gnatrol and will try it. any suggestionsWeek 3

Organic IPMWhat do you all use for IPM? I got tweetmint, em-5 from BuildASoil & neem oil. I just tried a solution of neem oil, AGSil 16H & ThermX70…forgot to PH balance the solution so I came back & sprayed the leaves with a lower ph purified drinking water. I’m growing organically btw.Other. Bugs
