Good bugs or bad bugs?

I'm using FoxFarm Ocean Forest soil on 4 vegging ladies - today I noticed these bastards...

I've looked around online but I can't tell exactly what they are. Some places say they might be good bugs and some say they might be bad ones.

Any idea what they are?

That's really good to hear. I was sad for a minute. :tiphat: One concern I have is that the plant seems a bit stunted in height growth and has a very slight 'mag def look'. It's possible it's just too close to the 1000w HID lamp or maybe a slight root issue. Glad to know the bugs shouldn't be an issue, though. Everything goes great, until it doesn't, hehe. I appreciate the feedback!

You may want to positively identify the critter before declaring ALL CLEAR. Clear packing tape can be a great trap to capture the bug. Count the number of legs, inspect the rear of its abdomen, but identify the bug.
