Who is this guy...

I had about 50 or so of these guys crawling around last week on the plants and on top of the soil. I hit them with a liberal dose of neem oil and today I found this guy apparently on his own. I have searched to identify him without any luck... does anyone know what he is? And if so, the best way to treat, although the neem seemed to work well but may need another dose. I have some spinosad arriving today but after I ordered it I read further discussions about BTi so I may order that as I believe I can add it directly into my watering routine and not affect the taste and smell of the buds???

3-gallon grow bags, Happy Frog soil, good LED light rated for 4 x 2, 18 - 6 hr light, Amnesia feminized autos in the eighth week.

There is no size comparison but that looks like a stink bug to me.

Was just about to say looks like a stink bug.

Third stink bug

4 for stinkbug but this would have to be a nymph stage which would be correct for the time of year. If there's a bunch of them, they hatched nearby. Here's an adult.

Yep, I looked up life stages with photos, and sure enough. I did find an adult on the plants a few weeks ago so this infestation must be the result. Thoroughly checked today for any other creatures but I did not find any more or eggs. Deep cleaning the grow room today as well. I did it two weeks ago but clearly not often enough so I will put it on a weekly schedule.

i think i saw something like that on discovery channel it sprays chemicals from its ass hahaha.

I vacuum them up all winter so I'm used to their stink (I'm surrounded by soybean fields where stinkbugs are a major pest. They all come to my place at harvest time to spend the winter)
