Pest Identification- Pepper Plant
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi All!
I noticed this pest on my Pepper Plant yesterday and cannot identify it. Wondering if someone out there has seen this one before or know if its good or bad for my plants??

Thanks!

I looks like the dreaded lygus bug. If it is insecticidal soap works great for them. They attack the flowers more than anything else. Keep an eye on the maters because they really like those flowers. Last year i had thousands of them over night.

I just googled " photo lygus bug" and this exact bug came up. Good call Heirloomtomatoguy.
