Hello IC…
2day i decided to try and make a sticky….i’ve seen plenty of people with Bug problems, running around in the infirmary, looking to identify there bug.
We all know there are so many species of bug ,and some attack out beloved plant, but they do so only In order for there survival….
But this thread is not eliminate bugs...but in order to kill'm ,you do want to be able to identify them asap !
so i came up with the idea of making a list of bugs…..that roam the earth and plants....Nway i found a great site that list many bugs...with pic samples !!so this gave me the idea for making this thread..…i will not take there pics from there site but i’ll link you to it….i know about outside links but this is for the greater good…(and i don’t want any copywrights laws to be broken)……just to be on the safe side….lol
Insteade i will list them and link you to the diffrent bugs they listed...this is also will be very usefull for outdoor croppers !!

CD thats a wasp or a hornet man, theyre predators and eat caterpillars and a couple other bugs but they will also sting and bightcha, they can sting more than once too, unlike bees that leave the stinger in ya and die afterwards.

I'm sorry guys, but that's in the ant family..I looked really hard @ google and Core's thread..s'not a wasp. I am at a standstill here..talked to one of the prof's @ URI and even he said " Well I'm not sure what it is . but it's an ant or in the same family"
when I had it on my hand it wasnt trying to sting me like a wasp would ...it was just sittin there.then I smushed it.hmmm?
