Help indentifying a bug

[eagle toke]

Found this insect on mother plants that were old and infested by thrips, as i placed some lady bugs im worried about this one to be a menace to them. Does anybody recognize this f*cker?

Does it matter?

Looks like a baby alligator. Juvenile lady bug. Looks like your over run already. But good bug.

Lady Beetle nymph. Probably attracted to the smorgasbord of insects on those leaves.

If you're growing ladybugs that's the way to do it

The juveniles are supposed to be better than the adults. I tried to get some ladybugs to get it on on my house plants but they just wandered off. It's really dry here, so not the best environment for them.

Seriously. They were all over in our living room, lol. I just kept picking them up and putting them back on the plants. I had to watch where I stepped too, lol.

They need food and water. If a small pest population exists? String a few raisins on a thread. As well as piece of sponge. Hang in the upper levels of your plants. 2-3 raisins and piece of wet sponge per plant. LOL.

I did. But the RH in my living room is below 10% a lot. It is right now actually. So are my grow areas too in my bedroom upstairs. I misted the plants, but it wasn't enough.

I had praying mantis too once and they wanted it more humid too. They were cool though.

And you are saying you have pests in your house? 10% RH? I'm not understanding.

One of those fuckers we’re on Grandmother’s nasturtiums and it bit me. I don’t like it. I’ve been carrying this emotional trauma for 45 years.

I had aphids on some houseplants so I tried the ladybugs. I had a pot plant in my living room that I put the praying mantis on.

And I'm in CO. It's dry here, like the desert.

A dusting of food grade diatomaceous earth if indoors. Wait 2-3 days and rinse it off.

Don’t you just love dry heat?

I do. It's way better than moist heat. Humidity and heat together sucks ass.
