Can anyone identify this pest?

[SiriusFourside]

A grower wrote in with a pretty good picture of a pest Nebula and I can't identify. Does anyone know what type of bug this is so we can document it better?

Do you know the location where the grower lives? Thats kinda key to determin what type of bugs they are.

If gown outside maybe ticks?

I don't know, but I'd be willing to bet its not good to have em!!! Sure are ugly spiders of some sort!

So I was checking around at various bugs again, and maybe it's the nymph or larvae form of a stink bug? There are tons of different species and these ones look a lot like these pics which are of a southern green stink bug and I saw pics of other types of stink bugs of different colors that look very similar, too. It seems like they definitely eat plants! Those eggs give me nightmares

Good call Nebula. I think you have a match.

Let me guess they grow in dirt...another good reason to grow your own. I could never smoke that pot LOL

[SiriusFourside]

That looks like a really close match, Nebula. Good call! Also, gross!

Wannabebotanist23 I think the grower found these in central CA, like near Fresno.

Creepy!! I would leave the house a day or so and set off one of the insect bombs that fumigates the whole house!!
