Sunfish, that bug might be a lacewing. If it is, there could be hair-like 1/2 inch long stalks on leaves with with white tips [eggs]. If it is, it eats insects and their eggs even mites!

I've been pulling those off my tomato plants by the dozens, and feeding them to my aquaponic fish. They have a powerful grip!

This is the 17th scorpion that has been found in the house this year! The cats will kill them if I don't see them first, but I don't want them getting stung! Do you know they glow under a black light?
