What is this? Pest?

Lol ya man. I have to guess you just lost Mr. J as a helper...
Took me a while to figure it all out too.

First. Before uploading (on a phone) go to your pictures in the camera app and edit them. You need to crop the pic even if it’s just a sliver off the bottom or side or wherever. This embeds the picture orientation in its code so they post right side up.

Then upload those cropped pics to your ICMAG album set to public.

Then you can start a post and within your post window you can hit Insert image under my photos.
There will be a “From” and “As” option up top.
From is the album you want “As” is how you’ll display it.

If you set it to link to a thumbnail it will have little pics linked to the big ones in your album.
If you set it to show original only you will have large pics on your post without links.
Edit: oops original still links to album but shows pic at its original size on post as well..
You can use 5 images per post. Quotes and emoji characters count as an image.
LOT of help from good people on this site once you get the hang of navigating it.. and them.

it aint thrips or you would see leaf damage before the bug.
agentpothead posted one of your pics (?) and i see damage on one or two lower leaf but indistinguishable from other issues...meaning it isn't thrips damage which iirc are little spots like polka dots.
good luck with the photos and recovery.

Mate, I can't see yr pics but it might be because I have Firefox ultra secure.

But the one I can see shows no notable damage. I 'd be pleased with plants like those. Can't see where any bugs have eaten anything.

Sometimes creatures live in the mulch and don't effect the plant. I think this is what you got. Those little holes in the leaves ... I get them sometimes. Always thought 'jassids' did that. But they've never injured a plant of mine. (Maybe they're called something else where you live.)

Don't worry ... good luck!

Hope that did it guys help me out I’m really trying.

 

[AgentPothead]

Alright let's put those all together now. They vaguely look like some sort of wasp to me? I'm not good with bug identification sorry.

 

[CaliNugs]

That winged one is the only one I have found like that the rest are all small like the baby looking bug. I thought I uploaded a couple more of the baby pics??

 

[YukonKronic]

Looks like a sweat bee to me.... kind of like Dufourea? Hard to tell scale in your pic’s.. there’s probably other smaller sweat bee’s that might be better candidates..

I would try googling some sweat bee or parasitic wasp images. Those two are both harmless and parasitic wasps (or most any wasp for that matter) will eat pests.

I’m looking at this and taking the pics thru a magnifying glass it goes up to 100x not sure where I’m at with these pics but they’re no bigger than a flea and they don’t jump they just run away really quickly

 

[brickweeder]

that baby little bug reminds me of immature termites...about how long are they? maybe flying ant larvae?

Just want to thank the few people that tried to help I really do appreciate it and Also want to add that I found out what they are the name is Booklice if you google that name you can see it’s the exact insect on my pics. Except for the winged older one that one is still a mystery but it’s the only one or 2 that I have found in weeks so I’m not worried about it and glad it’s not thrips.

You're welcome, it was my pleasure. I'm glad I could set your mind at ease.

It does look a lot like booklice.
