Hello,

I have these strange bugs on my plants, was wondering if they are harming the plants? I noticed on one of my plants that some of the bud clusters are missing the flowers, maybe they are eating them? See the pics, any help would be great!!

Thank you

That looks like a grasshopper nymph... my favorite control for those is just to pluck them off and step on 'em, but insecticidal soap will work just as well ;-)
