Bug ID

10 years ago

Hello, I'm not totally sure which bug is this since it's extremely small - around 1 mm (0,04 in). It isn't exactly still and it "roamed" the pepper plant (seemed pretty active) so I hope it's some kind of predatory bug and it won't hurt the plant itself but also might prey on harmful bugs (aphids etc.).

Any help would be appreciated. Pictures are attached bellowbute here is a link to full resolution photos and also a video if the little fella.

It's very small and not at all distinct. So, it's more than a bit challenging to guess what it might be.

Is it just walking around? Or is it making some sort of damage?

If the latter, please describe.

@Jean, there doesn't seem to be any damage, but I did see only two so if they are detrimental to the plant, maybe there needs to be more of them. Hope not!

@ken_adrian Adrian MI cold Z5, thanks for the reply also. It's not mildew though. I overwintered that plant and it's just dust since I haven't watered the foliage since it's making new fresh healthy leaves and I intend to remove all the "over-wintered" leaves when enough of the new ones develop.
