So I’ve recently moved from sunny San Diego to rainy Washington there has been tons of new problems I’ve never dealt with before. Today while inspecting my outside plants that are just out on my balcony I’ve noticed a few of these small red tic looking bugs. (I’m pretty sure it’s not a tic) But I have no clue what they are or what they do, if I should worry about them or not. I’ve only noticed them today and our of 9 plants I have found and removed two of these sorry I know my camera is ass but I did the best I could with pictures. Anyway I’d love to learn more about this pest and hear about the pests or problems other growers are having and how you guys solved them.
P.s. I plan on moving them into a 4x4 tent Ina few weeks due to frost and things coming sooner than I believe these will finish. So now I’m worried that this could be something I shouldn’t bring into my indoor environment! Thanks in advance much love you guys
That looks like a nymph of a stynky bug (pentatomidae)
Better to remove them
we have problems with the big brown stink bugs, look similar to the large green green one but much larger, their body is about the size of a nickle.

Oh no. That’s not an image I wanted to see.
Thanks man the second picture of the more red one is the exact butthead luckily I found only two however I did find an adult one that was kinda darker brown like bark I have killed them all. I have also had a few leafhoppers here and there but for the most part pretty pest free for our door grow. I’ve always grown outdoors in California and bugs were just a part of it some years the caterpillars would really reak havoc on the crops. But compared to that this has been super easy. Thanks again everyone for the help!
