# Help!! I'm at all loss. Anyone know what type of mite or pest this…

_Lagt ut av Leigh den 2024-08-04_

Help!! I'm at all loss. Anyone know what type of mite or pest this is? I thought spider mites but there was no webbing and straight rubbing alcohol did not touch them. They just walked right through it. Captain Jacks dead bug also did not work. This was taken 10 mins after dousing the plant in Captain Jack's. It's a video I had to screenshot since I can't post videos here

Looks like a stink bug to me

Thank you! I should add more detail. These images were taken with my microscope so these bugs are extremely small. Difficult but not impossible to see with the naked eye. Also, while I do see them on leaves, I haber mostly seen them on the edges of my pots and the stems of my plants.

I’m curious, Are your plants showing any symptoms of illness? I think I also have whatever these are. I’ve gone wild trying to get rid of them, however they don’t seem to have done any damage to my plants. I just don’t want them.
