Anyone know what these little bugs are? They are tiny so could be babies. Need to know if I should kill them or leave them be. Moisture meter stick for size in second picture,if that helps at all.

    They look like leaf footed bug nymphs, related to stink bugs. I believe they are a pest and should be removed!

      That looks like them and the amount of adult stink bugs we’ve had here lately is unreal so that is likely what it is. Thank you.

    They are cousins to the stink bugs and give off a similar smell. You have to kill them quickly before they reach the adult stage. The adult stage is hard to kill with standard pesticides. You have to pluck the adults and drown in a jar of water. You can kill the juveniles in the picture with insecticidal soap or standard bug spray. Also, look under the leaves for the eggs and remove ALL of them or this will repeat. Good luck!🍀🪴

    I sprayed them yesterday with neem oil, went back out this morning and they were all still chilling on that same plant so I sprayed them with seven and that did nothing so I sprayed them with dawn power spray and that got them!

      Dawn power spray can be too strong for some plants. The old common Dawn is the one usually used to spray on bugs.
