Anyone know what this pest is?

It takes a man to admit his mistakes, so this shows his character

@Jetdro I’m happy to be here to man, I’m just like the most here except that my dad is a biologist and a famous breeder, but I’m just another stoner who loves the plant :seedling:

YES!

I love the larval stage best. They look like little gators and eat waaay more than the adults will.

They also aren’t as picky as adult Ladybugs are and will eat any soft-bodied insect found on the plant.

A mature Ladybugs favorite food is Aphids and a lot of times mature Ladybugs will only eat aphids… up to about fifty a day.
Once pest populations are taken down low enough, they lay eggs and leave that plant to find another infested plant to feast upon.

That’s where the larvae come in. They can eat their own weight in pests each and every day for a couple of weeks until they start to pupate. They can do significant damage to pest eggs, larvae and some mature insects.

Praying Mantis is another great friend of the cannabis plant! Non-selective feeder and looks very cool while in “hunting” mode.

That’s correct Paul… it’s too cold for Praying Mantis where you live.

They’re really easy to hatch and grow your own.
