I believe you meant corn leafhopper, @George .

Are the wings a bit shiny? Looks a bit like a common clothes moth.

You’re right. I caught one and used the microscope. They’re in my carpet somewhere; it’s wool. They only show up around my cabs.

If they are in your carpet get a steam carpet cleaner.
It will kill any moths and the eggs,

Figured this would be a good spot to ask. I’ve got these mite looking things in quarantine right now. I’ve not seen them before. They are damaging the leaves in a similar way as thrips would, little tracks of damage. They are large and easy to see. They don’t seem to be spreading too fast and they stay tight to only leaves that are against the tent wall.
I’m starting to think clover mite but that would seem strange to find on cannabis.

Looks like a clover mite to me and the damage to the leaves is another indicator. Squish one and see if it is red. Vacuum cleaner is recommended for control.

Please if someone can tell what bug this is…
And to take the opportunity…

The plant is overall healthy
Like the others. At least I think so 
Thanks

Looks like a hemp borer to me. Or some other caterpillar species. Definitely remove. A gentle soap and iso spray may deter some. Sticky traps help. Trichogramma minutum is a beneficial wasp that can help as well. Plus manual removal. They’ll live in the stems though so be aware of that.

Those things are little assholes! Them and corn borer, your plants look great all year and then when buds show up they bore inside, eat, and shit everywhere.
We’ve had luck outdoors with trap crop plantings, either some tomatoes or corn as a sacrifice to our insectoid overlords. If given an alternative, most species will stay away from cannabis (most…not those specialized herbivores though).
Anecdotally, I switched Epsom salt for cal-mag years ago and insect pressure has gone down. I like to think the extra sulfur from Epsom salt helps keep cannabis tissue unpalatable, but it’s also just as likely my management improved as well. It’s just a hypothesis right now, but sulfur helps plants tolerate both disease and pests and has been used as an insecticide/fungicide for over a century so at least it’s an informed hypothesis!

Interesting. This works well.
Oddly, cabbage has worked for us in the past as a generalized trap.

Wild that cabbage works for you! Brassicas are normally deterrents but it depends on latitude and bug populations!! Here in the Midwest most of the outdoor pests I see in Cannabis are the same as in corn or soybean, growers next to corn fields can get in some serious bug trouble if they don’t plant accordingly.
@Northern_Loki what kind of insects do yall deal with?

I was surprised.
Varies from year to year both in type and intensity. Hornworm, mites, thrips, scale, aphids, fungus gnats, slugs, some various beetles, those little jumping things.
Don’t recall what was attacking the cabbage, but they were decimated. The rests of the plants in that area remained clear throughout the season.

The power of biodiversity! I know some crop advisors using terpenes to simulate diversity to keep plots bug free with surprisingly good results! It’s all proprietary though so they keep their secrets…for now
