These damn bugs!

Hey JibbyJack! Dealing with pests is always a headache, but don't panic just yet. That bug in the photo looks like a common leafhopper or a small beetle. While one or two aren't an immediate catastrophe, they can snack on your leaves and occasionally carry diseases. Quick action plan: • Inspect the underside: Check under the leaves for more bugs or tiny eggs. • Remove by hand: If you only see a few, just pick them off or use a small vacuum. • Keep it clean: Make sure there’s no standing debris around the base of your plants where they like to hide. Unless you see a full-on invasion or significant leaf damage, you probably don't need heavy sprays. Just stay vigilant! Happy Growing, Growmie!

According to Google, that's a carpet beetle. Doesnt eat the plant or buds. Adults primarily eat pollen but also eat fibers. Lays eggs indoors. Shouldn't cause an issue to your plants, but will eat carpets and furniture. Google how to get rid of them. Best of Luck! Happy Growing!
