I have no idea. It's a cool looking bug though. As long as there's no damage anywhere on the plants. I'd let him hang out.
The webbing coming out its a$$ is hilarious.

I forgot to mention, Cpt. Jack(spinosad) had no affect on it...

Add some oil and soap to the spinosad. Harder shelled beetles can take more then larvae and soft skinned bugs. The oil will plug up the holes he uses to breathe.

Appears to be scale bugs ... Nasty little plants suckers.
Spray neem oil or if a light infestation- dip a Qtip in alcohol and spot aplly to them.
Neem oil or azamax can also be " Qtip " to infested sites.

That is one crazy alien looking bug right there!
In that picture, at the underside of the stalk see that little white ball, is that an egg?
I am so fascinated by what kind of bug this is I've been searching the web for the last half hour with bong in hand.
It looks like a mite of some kind, being part of the arachnid family producing silk. Pretty sure no other bug that looks like that would produce silk? hmmmmm almost a month old post...
Not my words but from a random site with info on bugs:
Scale doesn't look much like an insect, but rather some prehistoric single-shelled miniature mollusk attached to your plants.

I just found the same bug on my plant today-I found a random white cluster an had no idea what it was. I found one of those guys with some of the whiteness coming from underneath. Pretty sure they are barnacles/scale bugs-from what I read they can start to weaken the plant if in big numbers/left alone. They release the honeydew syrup that can bring others in. From what I read a spray down with a single hand pressure spray should help or some insecticidal soap.
I had actually posted asking about them myself haha-fucking weird little guy that's for sure
