Insects: The good, The Bad, and the Bugly

[MaxPowerGrows]

Alright...welcome to the new AFN gameshow thread. This game is going to be interesting!! All you have to do is take a pic of a bug you catch on your plants. If you dont know what the bug is post your continent, and a clear pic of the bug. Then we all have to brainstorm and try to find out what it is, and whether its beneficial, harmless or harmful and should be eraticated. For every correct response i will be dropping max rep, and if you see someone get a correct response drop them a shot of rep!!
If this thread stays active and enough information and clear pics of bugs supplied, we will talk about compiling Continental guides of insects.

Rock n roll!!

I will get this party started with an easy one

Also note to caterpillars (they did bad times for me many times):
Against caterpillars i have used propolis, which I have been told that is used by growers on Ibiza for years. Propolis tincture is mixed with water, I have add bit of etheric oils which insect does not like (ofcourse everything in reasonable %) and sprayed flowers hardly. I do not know whether cooler weather, or propolis, but had no animals after. This was tested just ones, but result was very good and what is the best, the plant is not suffering by that.
Do You know to tell something to it?

@Waira - hey bud....what have you got for dankstyle about the russet mites? Know anything about the herb terror russetts?

 

[vikuksi]

There are some parasitic mites, wchich goes after our "most beloved" leaves eating mites. I have no idea, whether this mites are available worldwide, but here in Czech republic you can get them. It is funny. You receive small plastic bottle with mites and just put them under your plant and that's it. Hemp eating mites does not like colder temperatures and moisture. Contrary to bad ones, good mites liked that both.
BUT, the most important is pour boiling water over soil in the pot, or warm it in oven (just 85°C/30min to not kill important microbes) some hours before you put seed or plant to it. Does not matter where from the soil is, when you go indoor, there are no natural predators, so the plant is in danger.
