Anyone know what kind of lady bug this is, is it good for my garden I wonder, I've looked on the web but im still not sure , so I'd love to hear what others think !

That's a stinkbug. Or harlequin. Pretty much the same thing for our purposes. Either first or second instar of one or the other, it's hard to tell unless you find a fully grown adult.

Not entirely sure if they're an issue for cannabis but I would think so. They're a sucking pest and areas bitten on tomatoes or peppers become soft and susceptible to any infection passed along by feeding.

Pesticide options are few and ineffective from what I understand. Manually removing any you see while inspecting is good practice. Squishing them is not, better to toss in a jar for disposal later. They release a pheromone that will attract others.

And thank you. ID'ing bugs gives me a wierd thrill, if you can call it that.

Well except for today ID'ing a thrip nymph on a pepper plant outdoors. I prefer looking at bugs on other peoples plants

What are you guys using for borers? They are taking out my leaves like crazy, Spinosad seems to be keeping them at bay but still going at it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I've been learning a ton from these forums, you guys are awesome!! My friend has these little jerks nesting in alot of the lower buds of an outdoor grow and I can't find anything about them anywhere. I can't get this to link my photos but you should be able to see them in my profile. I'd greatly appreciate any help, there's some beautiful medicine in jeapardy >XD

Get some BT spray that will stop them in their tracks.
