It's an aphid of some type. Doesn't look like an infestation tho and Safer's soap will get them.
Sic a lady bug on it.

You have to do it quickly too. The females lay fresh crops of them multiple times a day!It's an aphid of some type. Doesn't look like an infestation tho and Safer's soap will get them.

That I can’t answer but they are identified as winged insects.

Some do, some don't. As far as I've seen, with the white ones, about half have wings, the green ones about 25% have wings, and I've never seen an orange one with wings. I read somewhere that there are circumstances where the females are hatched pregnant, so @hotrodharley is right, you need to get on that. I'll second the Safer's, works for me.

Their shit attracts ants. Ants actually farm them to harvest the shit. Make sure no ants are around.

This is the one I have and it got rid of my mites. I add 10ml of canola or neem oil to each one liter batch to make it even more effective and did 4 sprays 4 days apart. Got to be consistent tho or you'll end up screwing with bugs for a long time until they are gone. I screwed around for two years and had masses of mites in flowering each grow.
