never seen that kind. if your seeing bight holes or missing spots kill them, those big ass bugs would chomp it if they were eating your plant you would know ! it you don't see any holes or so on prob chilling or eating other bugs in your plant. if I were you I would hose your plant off to besafe, that bug might lay eggs on the plant and the larva the worms prob eat leaves.

Yea tell me about it I found 4 on jus one plant yesterday. I guess it's really starting to be "that time of the year" lol ya I been leaving them along been noticing them for a while now and I don't thing they are doing any harm. There actually really vivid coloring pretty cool. Jus thought I would see if there good or bad bugs and I'm assuming that spiders are good too? Found this fucking in the same plant as the bugs
It's a sharp shooter. They suck juices thru the plant stem walls. They pee as much as they suck. Look for water droplets on leafs below them . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glassy-winged_sharpshooter http://www.bing.com/search?q=glassy+wingedsharpshooter&qs=n&form=QBRE&pq=glassy+wingedsharpshooter&sc=8-25&sp=-1&sk= I haven't found an organic way to rid them. They don't seem to cause damage but something sucking on your plant is not good. They can carry a disease . That's what wiped out all the Oleanders on the California freeways.

I guess. But I was jus reading an article on tthem and they described tthem to be brown with yellow spots a 1/2 inch long and clear wings. This one is like a
a blue teal color and it doesn fly unless it has to it jus goes around the leafs.

yeah there leafhoppers this is what I been battlin I just gave up hopefully the smell in flowering will detour them, leafhoppers are attracted to the brightest "green" in the area so if the only thing that's nice n green is ur plants well there comin to kick it, they suck on the leaves, leave droplets n a white residue after they sucked I wouldn't say its powdered mildew cause ive seen that also them leaving those droplets then it just sittin there, but ive said something where I get my nutrients they said o don't worry about those they never have hurt my plants, ive looked for an organic way to get rid of them a long time and I tried some safer brand which saids it kills leafhoppers I used it but it made my plants look like shit after that I just left it alone, just keep your plants healthy and do what you can there a pain n the ass flyin everywhere when the plant moves
