Anyone know what these lil guys are? I noticed them yesterday hanging on a monstera leaf. It’s neighboring other plants and I don’t see the lil critters on any of my other plants!

    Those are tiny aphids ☺️ Remove them and treat the plant. Probably just a minor infestation!

    Those are actually the nymphs of A$$a$$in bugs. They’re beneficial and will eat all your plant pests as they continue to grow into their adult form. Planta wouldn’t let me comment before because apparently the word a$$a$$in is not allowed on the app 😂

    100% agree with Rudolpho. Google the bug in question to compare bugs. Your picture does NOT show aphids. Aphids are typically on the underside of the leaves and are not able to be seen by the naked eye. They are red and also can leave a web or sticky residue on leaves. Which the bugs pictured do not do.
