Aphids? Need help identifying

About a week i found these bugs on plants. Im not to sure what they are, i suspect they are aphids but need some help to identify. They are brown/amber color and sit perfectly still, i mean they dont move at all, at least i havent seen them move. They are noticeable and not hard to find, they sit on the tops of sugar leaves on the trichomes.

Ive probably pulled 10-15 of those motha suckas off my plants. I did a soil drench with spinosad and not really sure what to do from this point on. Anyways just wondering if anyone can tel me what im dealing with. Thanks in advance.

They don’t look like any aphids that I’ve seen. Don’t know what they are though.
Sorry :slightly_frowning_face:

They are pretty small could they be some sort of Beatle? I forgot to mention the pic is zoomed in and with my eyes all I see is a little brown/amber dots. @George

Some kind of weevil? icon_e_confused|nullxnull

Hey thanks for mentioning beetle @George . I went and looked up small brown beetles and these bugs look very similar to the drugstore beetle, Im looking into it more and they do seem to be attracted to plants.

Depends if they are in advanced flower stage :sweat: or not. Do they fly? They could be flea beetles, many sorts of them … :sunglasses:

Could be babies of several different Beatle species , they often change color and apearance as they turn into adults. Lady bug larva are the weirdest thing ever and almost everybody I show thinks I’m crazy.

Edit: I don’t know how those larvae could reach those sugar leaves without wings, have you seen the flea beetles?

I’m not going to spray anything on the plants. One is 8 weeks in the other 5 or 6 and the other like 3 or 4 weeks lol. @Bostonbud

I’m looking into the beetles now so many different bugs… @Heritagefarms

I don’t think they are flea beetles because these things don’t move at all I also don’t see any holes in the leaves. They do look crazy similar to the drugstore beetle which can fly. Im still looking though lol @George

Thanks for everyones input.

I just don’t understand, you guys messing with clones?
You can figure 50% aren’t clean on here, that means grow area, dirt makes you wonder about that, all peripherals, just the whole SOP and for people that don’t understand it means Standard of Operations.
You might be clean source of your clones might not be.
You bring in clones you could be bringing in your Armageddon.
I’m the biggest advocate of planting them seeds, clones can be costly adventure.

Ive found these in bags of dog food, usually associated with rot somewhere.
