Tiny beetle?

This morning i was checking out plants in the yard i noticed a little beetle smaller then a ladybug, it had some blackish green crazy shiny colored look to it the thing was inside a bud where it meets the stalk. Was wondering if anyone has had em before? Also noticed little shits running up and down the bud and stalk where bud sets just like a budworm does, was wondering if the beetles do the same as the cats. I didn't see any caterpillars on the whole branch or buds. I was also wondering what i could spray it with, Azamax isn't working they have been hit up since day one with that, they also been getting BT every week or two for the past month an a half. Thanks

If your talking about the tiny green bug that resembles a lady bug essentially....

Cucumber beetle

No good, get rid of it.

not fond of using neem in the last.. ooh three weeks i guess,

don't think you need more neem if you have einstein.

unless there's a number of them i wouldn't freak. lately i get little ladybird beetles, 1/2 the size and like two shades of brown with dark spots. found a few of them in buds this year, have to watch bcs they kinda resemble immature seeds.. haven't noticed any damage.

I second the Arbico Organics website. Look them up an CALL them. You'll get connected to their expert in bugs and they will set you up proper.

Don't spray Neem, nor anything until you give them a call or figure it out.

Sucks big time 4 weeks into flower but it would suck more 6 weeks into flower
