Anyone can please confirm if this is a flea beetle? 
Thanks …

MOST Flea Beetles are Black, appearing almost a shiny-bluish pigment. Looks like a Green Aphid to these old eyes. I’m sure others will properly identify the culprit. Success in getting rid of the bugger. SS/BW…mister

I can’t like a pest… but the desire is hard to resist.
I have no idea, hope you figure it out. I’ll be watching for your answer.
Thanks, could be, although at least from what I recorded having them in the past they don’t have that big head

Good question, it’s indoors, some seedlings in my living room, so I suspect they came in the Biobizz Light Mix soil

Its head looks more like a grass hoppers head than a flea beetle.

Made me think Katydid. I can’t stand those biting jerks.
It doesn’t have the legs though.

Whatever it is it’s eating the leaves, so it needs squishing 
It does look like a cal or mag issue.

Same here.used the miracle grow organic and it was just a bag of bugs. Switched to ffof and fflw mixed for a few years until that started coming buggy, switched to roots and haven’t had a bug problem from my soil since then. I really want to try the coast of Maine soil, I love their lobster compost.
Oh, many years before one of my buddies had grown a big beautiful plant in a bag of miracle grow soil with no added amendments. It got stolen right as the hairs were turning orange. It had been out in the woods behind his auto body shop in a 5 gallon bucket we spray painted “camouflage”. Goodness I miss being 21 sometimes.

I mean, I’ve used it in gardens for decades, its just not balanced right to get your full potential out of cannabis I do believe. But yeah, that plant that was grown in it was big and beautiful, I always wondered how it would have smoked.
flea beetles give the “shotgun” look to the plant by chewing all these tiny round holes. I kill em with my favorite BTK…but that’s not a flea beetle, they jump away when disturbed, thus the name “flea”. I got them on the potatoes and tomatoes in the past. They love nightshade.
