i was contemplating scrapping one of my plants. im examining for any signs of growth when i see what i think is a piece of dirt, i blow it to get it off the bud and it looks like it moved. so i use the tweezers i had in my hand to pluck it out like the seeds i was plucking previously. turns out its a bug. i break out my magnifying scope, aka my binoculars and looked to see the bug. i couldnt see it at first cuz it was on its back, it had a trichome on its foot, and everytime i flipped it over on its feet it would roll over again and slowly kick a little. i guess it was stoned? anyway i managed to take a picture of it, i also found out that second macro mode with the little S on it in my camera is for taking realllly close up shots. this is like half an inch from the bug. i put a seed next to it for comparison. anyone ever seen anything like this? it appears to be a tiny beetle with patterns on its back that look like what you see on cannabis seeds.

ok i guess my thread tittle is a little misleading. ive already established its some sort of beetle. what is it called and has anyone else seen one that mimics the pattern of seeds on its back?

Looks like a weird Japanese beetle.
Atleast it was not this:

Really hard to ID though. really.

Aha!

Cassida nebulosa Linnaeus

Is that it?

Could be a carpet beetle.
