I attached pics of the critter. Ive seen long bite marks for the last year and for some reason never could find the bugs. There are lots of little black dots on the bottom side of the leaf but its not living, I think its poop. Tonight I finally was able to take a pic of what the look like. Very small and look like larvae stage. They leave black poop dots and what looks like green slimy saliva circles as well as leaving tiny, long bit marks that are visible from the top side of the leaf. You can see the green circle right above the head of the critter in the pic. Maybe thats the part of the leaf they are eating or maybe some kinda slime / drool?

Anyone know what they are?
Thanks!

Azamax is only preventative not good at killing. I use Foramite which should get rid of them but would like something not as bad. I thought Monterey was bad, not as bad as floramite but still... anything like azamax but better?

pyrethrum work on thrips as well or better than azamax?

If you DO use Azamax remember to only use it on vegging plants and wait the recommended amount of time before putting those plants into flower. I'd start with something homemade or relatively non toxic then move on to something stronger if that doesn't work.

That's what I thought. I've been trying to find a bad thing said and can't but apparently it's banned for use in CO according to a denverpost article.
