Hello fellow growers, can you identify the bug from the attached image? Moved these ladies indoors and they are completely infested throughout.

Also, would Spinosad work to eliminate them and is it a problem to dry and smoke this weed down the road given the number of bugs I’m dealing with (in the 100’s per plant)?

Not the best pic but thrips. Spinosad should do it. Suggest citric acid.

That looks nowhere like a cannabis leaf regardless of its issues. The bugs look hella cool though

Just a single leaf, here’s the rest of the plant.

these look like aphids shedding their Previous skins.

usually white and don’t move but look like bugs.

There’s a ton of aphids so that makes sense.

With fully formed buds I'd go with Citric acid first, Spinosad is pretty gnarly(it does work though). A bud wash after you harvest will clear out some of the bodies/bug poop too.

I never would have let that thing in my garden let alone my home

It’s not like I invited them through the front door with open arms. This is in the garage.
