Hey can anyone help me identify these little plant eating wankers on my leaves

My plant seems to be crawling with the little bastards in the pics..can anyone point in the right direction of what they actually are and what to do about them.. I'm about 3 weeks into flower growing outdoors.. Thank ya

Spinosad or bt will kill them.

Those are thrips but you might want to look under the leaves with a scope too. There are some tell tale mite signs showing.
Spinosad will take care of the thrips but you'll need something else like Green Cleaner or Nuke Em for mites.

I don't know of any "all in one" that takes care of all chewers other than predatory insects but someone else might chime in and know of another effective means.

Thrips or aphids I can't remmeber which but sm-90 worked for me for both

thanks for the replies everyone ..yeah i thought they kinda look like thripes ..ive just ordered some provado ultimate fruit & vegetable bug killer..its made for fruit and veg and only lasts 2 weeks so am i right in thinking this will do the job ?

im in the uk so ill struggle getting any Spinosad in time

its hard to tell from the pic but they are little tiny maggots ..i even found a biggish green maggot type thing on them yesterday so would this rule out them been spider mites ?

Deffo not spider mites. Thrips most likely. When u start to kill them u might see some tiny black flies in ur room. I got down to the local garden centre n got some yellow sticky strips with blue on too. They'll catch the black flies which are the mature ones trying to spread more of the eggs.

I have a thrip infestation as well
This is what I'm going with.

The way twas explained to me
The cucumeris targets the thrips eats them.
If spider mites become am issue
The cucumeris eat the adolescent spidermites too.

I am getting a geranium to keep in my room so after they clean out the current hive they will migrate over to the pollen producing plant and start to chow down on that pollen.
Keeping the cucumeris population alive and waiting.
I veg outdoors some
So when I bring plants in they often. Ring unwanted guests
So I needed a more long term fix.
I've tried neem
But I'm too lazy to wash each leaf
I got Shit to do
Don't have time to dedicate 2 hours to washing her wish I did.

On my second week with the cucus released
Haven't seen the issue spread
Seems to. E working

thanks for that mate ive just ordered some of them too along with some of the blue sticky fly traps ..so my plan is to spray them with provada bug killer first ...wait 2 weeks then release the thrip predators and place the fly traps around the base of my plants ..if thats doesnt work i dont know what will ..i think cuz weve had such a hot summer in the uk this year the bugs are thriving which is a complete bitch
