[bobby2017]

This is my outdoor plant second week into flowering , Can you please identify this bug their color is brown and they are gathering below flower, So many ants are also sitting below flowers. But I couldn't find any ants in soil. Any tips to get rid of them will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks dear .... I will try to take few more snaps with some size comparison ..... I don't have a good camera therefore it might be hard to identify this bug but they are colonizing ......

 

[NuttyProfessor]

they will take over if they are but you can get rid by using dish soap water ,

lol .... It is just an experimental grow I knew nothing about planting and I got some seeds from brick weed so this is just a learning process

garlic spray can get rid also , loads of organic stuff that will kill them , as long as there no buds keep going

 

[NuttyProfessor]

Mix together 1 tablespoon of dish soap and 1 quart of water, or 5 tablespoons of soap per 1 gallon ofwater if you have a lot of plants to spray. Mix the solution thoroughly, and pour it into a clean spraybottle.

No webs ....

also looks like a solider bug

Way too big to be spider mites. I don't know what they are but i am willing to bet they are not spider mites.

Maaan.... idk.. it almost looks like a small pill bug.. as we know them " Some kind or rolly polly".. I'm sure that not the correct bug but damn.

@TheNuttyProfessor
few more closeups with size comparison


Look at their colonies they are hard to separate and it seems they suck juice from stems because when i try to separate them a thick greenish liquid also comes out ...

They definitely ressemble spider mites, it's probably what they are. regardless you should act fast to be rid of them.
