Unknown Bug Found On A New Clone

[BomShiva]

Hiya all,

I recently got given a Clone from a friend, as allways i put it into a quarantine grow room ive got far away from my main room.

Ive left it in there for 3 weeks and nothing was on it, everything seemed fine.

yesterday i went to fetch it and put it into my mother room.

And thats when i found 3 of these on it, so i then treated the plant with Buzz Off, on checking today they were still alive.

As there about the size of a greenfly ive since removed them with my fingers and crushed them.

They could hop a little aswell.

Ive had most things over the years, spider mite, whitefly, thrips, but ive never seen these before and i used to work in commercial greenhouses.

Any ideas anybody?

Yup but that cuckoo spit is the nest for the lava, MJ

I was wondering if there baby grasshoppers .

Defo not anything related to greenfly or blackfly as buzzoff kills them instantly.

Cuckoo spit/Frog hoppers ?

Edit: Maybe not. I didn't see your post, Bomshiva, until I'd replied.

Here are some pics of the damage they caused to the two leaves i found them on.

i was keeping 4 tomato plants with the clone, and there is absloutly nothing on those.

Here are the pics.

The damage looks a bit like thrip damage to me, but there defo not thrips, thrips move around a lot faster than these did.

Bom!
