Hi everyone, found this guy on my plant. Anyone know what it is? If it’s a pest or a helper bug and if it’s the former, how to get rid of them and prevent from coming back. Thanks.

Looks kinda like a leafhopper. If so, definitely not helper. A lot of people here use captain jacks dead bug to get rid of bastards like that.
