Need help identifying bug

[runcornward]

Hello everyone,

I am a first time grower and have noticed this insect on the plant. The plant is outdoors and the bugs seem to only be around the flowering parts. I am not sure if this is a bad or good insect. Any help identifying what insect it is and how to get rid of it would be greatly appreciated.

No idea... I googled horned bugs -looks alot like horned tree hopper or horned shield bug. Not good for your plants..sap suckers..and lay eggs in stems. Can you get a better pic of that critter?

A type of leaf hopper. Pick it off and crush it.

If it’s not growing buds yet meaning if it’s still in vegetation spray it with neem cake tea. That’s what I use as a preventative also work great if your plant is not infested.
