| I have a pest on my hydroponic lemon basil, I believe it's a sucking variety but I can't seem to find any insects or identify it from these markings. Does anyone know what I might have? |

| looks too big for a single bug .. and if there were a million of them ... you would find them is this in a bright window.. sun.. and could a drop of water have lingered on it??? or some other fairly liquid substance ... does the injury look to be on the front.. or back of the leaf??? |

| I'm no expert, but it looks like bruised leaves to me. Basil leaves are very tender and susceptible to brusing that results in darker spots on the leaves. |
