# Help!! I found this white bug inside my Tradescantia plant and I have…

Help!! I found this white bug inside my Tradescantia plant and I have no idea what it is. It was a pretty big size and I just smashed it with my spray bottle. Does anyone know what it is?? My plant is inside a nursery pot that was inside a decorative pot. Sorry this is the only picture I got of the bug. It was whiteish with antennas.

Maybe a cricket?, can’t tell but it was clearly eating or hurting your plant! I would try look for more just to be sure and maybe move your plant away from that spot if it’s getting worse but good luck with it
