What bug do you think this is?

[Cozy Amnesia]

I woke up this morning and found two tiny bugs flying around my baby clone. They have wings, are light green, and are about an 1/8th inch long.

I think they're baby grasshoppers, which is nothing to worry about (right?). What do you guys think?

Whitefly perhaps. Use Safers soap or pyrethin based sparay for safe organic fix.

Nope, they looked nothing like these:

They look like Aphids to me.

I would also go with aphids, but I cant quite tell from the pic

i think their to big to be white flies. plus their green. they dont look any thing like the aphids ive seen. ive never seen aphids with wings.its not thrips,scale or spider mites. not mealybugs...... so i guess I have to say that I have no idea what those are. I think white flies only get to be as big as a 16th of an inch.

Some aphids have wings. I still say immature whitefly.

to me they look like green lacewings..

Male root aphids are known to develop wings, but they resemble a fungus gnat more than the fly pictured.. I would say white fly, but 1/8th of an inch is a bit big for whiteflies.. Pic is a bit blurry, but to me it looks like the lacewing..

ooh Lacewing is good.....

Maybe it is a wood spider?

lungwings?

 

[kushism]

i highly doubt it is a fungus gnat.. they are usually black, and smaller than 1/8th inch.. my best guess is that it either a lacewing or a leafhopper..

<--------- green lacewing

although this particular picture of a certain species of leafhopper could be your pest

Any way you can take a clearer pic??

 

[Core]

i think cozy is right....looks like it is sitting like a grasshopper in the last pic.....

 

[kushism]

I am going off Cozy's 1st pic and the spikey leg and large white eye.. thats the leafhopper to the t..

 

[Billy Burroughs]

ya the fungus gnats i had were black with grey stripes wrapped around em

 

[Cozy Amnesia]

Thanks everybody!

Hey your bug is called a leafhopper.

Thats it! They looked just like this one:

"Potato leafhoppers are wedge-shaped, 1/8-inch long, green, active insects. They use their piercing-sucking mouthparts to remove sap from the potato leaf. These small insects fly readily."

They're gone now though, but I'll keep a look out for them!

glad you were able to figure it out.. i thought it was most likely a leafhopper after looking at several pics
