It would be helpful if you could get a closer picture of the bug. I really can't see him too well, and it's dark around him, so it's difficult to see much detail.
From the size/silhouette, I'd guess maybe an earwig? But that's about all I can come up with, without more detailed pictures.

Here's a closer picture. Unfortunately this is the best I can do as my iphone has a hard time focusing in on it. Also I don't believe it's an earwig as it can fly but just seems to sit there all day.
is it some type of moth , get the rascal off encase its laying eggs all over your plants

Is there anything you'd recommend for preventing them? Every time I swat at it or anything it just flies to another branch. Plus this is an outdoor grow so there's not much stopping any others from coming. Thanks by the way!
i use a spray called ( provado ultimate bug killer ) it works for up to 6 weeks , never harmed my plants and works well , plus its at a good price

So fast forward a little over a week, I ended up using neem oil because it was more accessible in my area, and sprayed the plant twice over the last week or so on both the tops and bottoms of the leaves and this guy joined the party.
So I'm thinking it's not a moth. The little one is the same type of bug as the other one, only it can only jump. Maybe I thought the bigger one could fly but it was actually jumping around I'm not sure, but I know this little guy is only jumping. He's got red eyes if that helps. I also have seen holes in some of my leaves so I really gotta get rid of these guys soon.

Here's another one I found, bigger than the first one I posted actually.
I'm also thinking my plant is starting to flower(this is my first grow) It's outdoors so I haven't done anything to cause it to flower. Here's a picture of what I believe to be Pistils(the brownish hairs on top)
So I guess I need to use something safe for the flowering stage if that's the case.

Yes, those are pistil, congrats!
However.. it'll help us identify the bugs with more detailed pictures. Multiple angles will help too. Right now I'm unsure what the first bug is in your earlier post from today, and the recent posted picture is difficult to tell, but my first guess would be a leafhopper.

Leafhoppers eat the sap from plants, so you don't want them on your plants. They can also lay eggs in the soil, keep an eye out for leafhopper nymphs. They'll have this silky/waxy crap that strings off the back of them. Kill them all ASAP. Some SNS might help in this situation.

Also I noticed that on some leaves there's water, even though I haven't watered it recently, and that there's some white spots on some of leaves, and that another leaf has a hole in it. On camera the white looks kinda like mold to me, but in person it doesn't. What do you guys think?

I found a weird kind of leafhopper that appears to make a chrysalis the size and appearance of a mouse's turd hanging off a petiole. Doesn't seem to be harming the plants.

You've definitely got powdery mildew on your leaves, make sure plant is getting loads of air circulation, if possible bring it in if at 0 degrees longitude and around 51 to 59 degrees latitude, once you see the mildew it's been in the plant weeks, keep humidity down and air movement up. Don't know about the insects, as Ive just found what I think are thrips on my mother plants , so I came seeking advice to
seriously don't let mildew get worse , keep me posted and best of luck.

Yeah they ended up being leafhoppers, and I noticed when they would feed off the plants liquid would sort of spray from them which I think caused what looks to be mold. Either way I ended up taking it indoors and got the leafhoppers taken care of. I started flowering it and had a ton of problems. Once it was almost ready for harvest I got spider mites, which I had a hard time getting rid of during flowering, but they luckily were only on a couple of my branches. I ended up chopping it down a week or two early to try and salvage whatever I could. Smoked some of it during curing and it was awesome, but ended up messing up the curing process despite all my research and got mold. I'm pretty glad my first grow put my through a bunch of crap though, learned a ton about what not to do, keeping my grow area clean, etc. Gonna be growing some indoor northern lights auto soon hopefully so it should go a lot smoother now that I've learned so much. You live and learn
