Thanks for the rep. I don't think it'll b a problem actually, but I haven't had any Exp w them. They use that gnarly mouth ( proboscis) to drill into ur babies n suck out fluids. An infestation (multiple individuals) in your grow area could b a problem tho

Weird, theres not much information about them. One place suggested nematodes as a natural remedy but ive heard that nematodes are a bad insect to have around mary jane. Thanks for the identification +rep
