Pest?/ Beneficial?

[Cali]

Just wanted to share some pictures of pest and some pictures of beneficial insects so we can all get to the point of recognizing the good from the bad. I have clapped a couple beneficials thinking it was fungus gnats.lol. Please post any pictures you have. Here you can see thrip damage. The one pest I battle but my predators keep them under control, those pics it was getting bad but was able to kick their butt.

I had a spidermite problem, tried DE first when it didn't work was going to try Ladybugs but couldn't because of the DE.
Fixed now. Would like to have released some ladybugs cause I agree badasses!
