Can I get help identifying this bug?
In the Kootenays in British Columbia.
Sitting on my leaf but don’t see damage. Also 1 spider and a mosquito near by. ![]()
@Lacewing know anything about this one??
That’s a minute pirate and it’s larve
I’d take a loupe and get a close look at my new growth sites and see if there’s more
If there is I’d leave it be
That’s it!!!
Thank you so much.
Seems I’ll Leave It be with my jumping spider.
I’ll keep an eye on things for now.

You are very welcome !!
Unless your cannabis plant starts growing acorns I think your fruits are safe
Hahaha keep us posted !!
I also want you to know …that bug …the minute pirate
Is one of the most fierce predators…it’s fast and there’s really almost no limit to how much it can eat
If there’s enough food source on your plant it should reproduce …look up it’s life cycle and you will be amazed at how long your plant is going to be protected
I first discovered them 2 months ago and I see the larve the translucent looking one on my plants all the time
Not bad looking for a first timer outdoors battling but yet trying to work with nature at the same time …
It’s nickname is also the flower bug …
That’s where I see most of the young …
You kind of hit the lottery in my opinion
People buy them online
