(I understand I may need to post this in the Garden forum., but thought I would try here first)
First picture, I found this bug on one of my cacti....
and yes I know its a bug because I watched it walk about 1/2inch on my cacti...and it moved when I put it on that napkin...
2nd picture, what the first bug pic looked like after I squished it... green.
3rd picture. 2nd bug. found this one on a different cacti of mine.
Again I know its a bug because as I was taking its picture, I could see its tiny legs wiggling about....
And this is what that bug looked like after I squished it.
(thank you in advance)

Comments (3)Earwigs. They like to hide in moist shady places like mulch and under garden ornaments etc during the day. They go after decaying matter, other bugs and greens. They completely ate or made swiss-cheese out of many of my young plants/seedlings and ruined many of my Datura flowers this spring/early summer. You can try taking a old piece of hose abt. 20" long and lay it out near where the damage is occuring in the evening...check during the day and dump any earwigs in a soapy bucket of water...moistened crumpled up newspaper works too.

Comments (8)I'm guessing a type of assassin bug nymph. I have some of those guys hanging around, too, and I've let them be. They've been clearing some aphids off my eggplants. I have a really hard time identifying the different kinds of stink bugs (beneficial predators vs sucking pests) other than the leaf-footed kind, so I generally leave them be unless I see a group of them together on a fruit/tomato/etc....See MorePlease help me to identify this bug (photos included)
