We started our new grow a couple weeks ago. Plants are about 3 inches tall now. We have found about 3-4 of these bugs on the leaves. Almost looks like a baby lady bug. If anyone has any clue what it is or how to keep them off the grow would be highly appreciated.

Here is the picture not sure if it loaded. And just realized I wrote dug instead of bug. 🤦‍♀️

@mistic313, I was going to say Doug. I don't know what kind of bug but I was going to say Doug. It seems like a nice name for a bug. :d  

Maybe a pic if you can?

There we go thought I had uploaded it. I would definitely name it doug if they weren't annoying and harmless.

@macky does look similar at one stage. Will they be harmful to the grow?

@mistic313 I dont think so, these type of beetle don't usually eat plant matter but i'm not entirely sure TBH, I have never seen on in my grow room. Has there been any visible damage on your plants?

@macky no damage so far. Doesn't look like any breeding either. 🤞 have only seen a few at this point

@mistic313, I sorry but I don't know bugs but I do have these little fuckers in my house except mine are a lady bug aka Asian beetle. More orange/red. This looks like their cousin. They don't bother my cannabis but they sure do like this place. Had them for years, they come and go and I don't charge them rent neither.

 Sorry I don't know but if it the same then it's just a bother and not a threat. Someone with bug eyes will be along soon to say for sure. I'm just the Door Greeter. 🤠

@mistic313 the picture is low res so it’s difficult to be 100% sure but I think it’s a “Carpet Beetle”

Anthrenus is a genus of beetles in the family Dermestidae, the skin beetles. One of several genera of carpet beetles
