Bug Id Please?

MrSalvage · May 28, 2016

Can anyone help with some bug Id's?

I can't seem to find these, three different bugs.
Maybe there is a better website than this one here. http://garden.org/pestlibrary/bugs.php

As always thank for your time in advance!

The first 2 are of a stink bug. Not a good guy at all. Look for its mates, it is seldom alone. Eggs are in closter of neat little rows on the underside of a leaf. I cant help out with the little beetle or the weevil with spots. Most weevils are evil!

Is that a flea beetle in the 3rd photo?

The first one might be some type of Assasin bug. It doesn't look like the stink bugs that are in my garden but I'm no expert on them since there are a lot of types of both bugs. Not sure about the others.

The last two photos are long horn AKA stem girdling beetle.
I have no idea why it is on your tomato plant.
There are a million different ones.

Brown Marmorated Stink Bug. Shield shape, white banding on antennae, black and white banding at abdomen.

Welp something is eating holes through all my leaves. I also found hole tops eaten off some of my transplants.

I did spot a "Earwig" running around my marigold transplants. I bought these from Lowe's so not sure if i brung it home with me or not.

That third picture is a very fast bug. They pop off and on like crazy. It does remind me of a flea. Hard to get a good picture of them. They are gun shy...

Yes, what everyone wrote is right. Stink bug, flea beetle and longhorn beetle. If something is taking the tops off your transplants it might be a cutworm. Slugs and snails will make holes in leaves. Flea beetles will make teeny tiny holes. Tomato leaves taste bad and very few bugs eat those. Is something eating your tomato plant leaves?

I agree with Kathy that the third one is a Flea Beetle.

Will show links and pics.

We get them here bad every year. They have arrived. grrrrrrrrrr. Usually they are easy to spot as they look like little black specks on the leaves. If you have your thumb and forefinger ready, usually you can sneak up on them and squish them before they jump.

They are my main pest down here. I scout twice a day for them. Top and bottom of leaves. They may be tiny, but can put a big hurt on your crops. One little flea beetle can make a major hole in your green tomatoes ruining them.

lol Nattys I love the nick. Not the beer, all tho I have had a few over the years. Now a best friend of mine who lives in Brandywine/Baden wont buy anything else.

Back to the tomatoes & yep i had tops missing off of my maters. Leaves stems and all...

Err...

I culled everything out so I might have a plant or two left like that.

Now on another note. You have reminded to call my friends over there. I hope the crabs run well this year!

Thanks
Bill
