What is this??? They are all over my indoor plants. Honestly, I’m about ready to throw every plant in the garbage. I don’t handle bugs well

    Is it on a yellow sticky trap? How many are there? Do you have another pic? I’ve never seen a bug on a plant like that before. Def not any of the usual suspects.

      Yes this particular one is on a sticky trap. According to Google and the other person that answered my post it is a stink bug.

    With this photo i can give a certain ID. It's a brown marmorated stinkbug nymph. They're harmless and super chill as far as bugs go. Just keep trapping them and you'll eventually get them all. They probably rode in on a plant, but you might look around and see if there are any possible entry points. They can fly, and are pretty clumsy about that. Avoid squishing them; they'll stink

      Google gave me the same answer so I feel a bit better about it. I am still a bit nervous though because there are several of these stink bugs. I’m assuming they are very young stink bugs because they are very small. I did not notice them yesterday at all. In the last 2-3 days I have noticed quite a few ants though. These two bugs combined make me think that there are aphids somewhere on my plants. But I have searched every leaf and I do not see any signs of aphids at all. I have recently had problems with my leaves, turning yellow and dying, but I have several plants that desperately need potted and I’m in the process of doing that. I just don’t have a lot of extra time to get it all done so I am slowly doing that. I am at least trying to repot one a day. So far each time I’ve repotted a plant besides the obvious fact that it needs done I have not seen any signs of bugs in the dirt, the plant roots have all looked normal and healthy etc. I’m probably over reacting but I’m so anxious about this ☹️☹️☹️

      I understand. I have a lot of indoor plants and I don’t do bugs. I have had spider mites on a few plants out of nowhere. I look over my plants daily to catch anything that may pop up.
