    What area do you live in? (totally understand if you're not comfortable divulging that info, but even a general region could help) And is it an indoor or outdoor grow?

    That's a leaf hopper. No problem unless you have an infestation, which would be easy to spot due to sheer numbers.

      I don't think it's a leaf hopper after looking at pics of leaf hoppers online. They tend to be smaller and more colorful.

      However, it could be an assassin bug which is actually a natural predator of 'pest' bugs in cannabis. An assassin bug will not hurt your cannabis as they are often purposely put in cannabis grows to kill unwanted pests.

        Good bugs are good for eating bad bugs.

        Just gotta wonder WHY they like hanging around.
