Hibiscus pest identification

12 years ago

Does anyone know what type of green bug this is on my hibiscus (taken today)? I've noticed several leaves with holes eaten into them. I have no idea what is causing this.

(Hopefully picture in next post)
Or what is in the flower picture (taken yesterday)?

Also, (hopefully pic in the following post) leaves are constantly turning yellow. I removed all the yellow leaves shown in picture yesterday and just as many were there today. I researched and am unsure if this is pest related or not. The only other likely options I found were over/under watering or the soil. There was a lot of rain last night and still yellow leaves this morning, but I'm having trouble figuring out if water has anything to do with it. Any ideas?

Thanks for reading!
