Close Up Pics - What Are They?

I have hundreds of these things running around in my garage all the sudden (my grow room is located in the garage as well, but these are mostly outside of the grow room SO FAR).

I recently got some deliveries and I also purchased some pond liner from the garden section of Home Depot. The bugs hitched a ride on either one or the other.

Wondering if any of you knew what they were? I can't find pics of them anywhere, not that I recognize at least.

Pictures 2 & 4 are of one bug cannibalizing another one that I just killed. Looks like he is sucking him dry.

The other pics are of a couple bugs I partially squashed for the photo. Otherwise they move around constantly. They don't jump and they don't fly, but they are always on the move.

Pics were taken with a 30x scope with my camera up against the scope. Hopefully its clear enough to get an ID.

BTW - does the fact that they are eating each other mean that they won't eat my plants? In other words, that would make them carnivores, right? Maybe they are beneficial bugs... OR Are there bugs that will eat meat and plant material?

now i'm all itchy.

pyrethium bombs.

thanks.. i've got a few Hot Shot Strips in the meantime, but I'll order a Pyrethrum bomb or two as well.

No idea what they are, huh?

I'm wondering if these or something else didn't get into my grow room anyway, my PH keeps dropping on me. Maybe some thing is in there eating or infecting my roots. Not even sure if thats possible in a DWC set up, but I can't chance it either way. I definitely have bugs regardless, just wish I knew what the hell they were.

BTW is it safe to use a Pyrethrum bomb in my flower room?? Any precautions I should take?

you ca use them up to the last 2 weeks of flowering.

those look like some type of aphid. i could be wrong though.

How long are they? Do they have a bright white patch or line on their backs? If so they may be Chinch Bugs. Theyre much more common in lawns, but are eaters of opportunity. Neem or LIGHT doses of Pyrethrin...

Not really sure wtf those things are, but just a heads up. Grasshoppers will eat each other. So just because its eating another bug, it still might want a piece of your plants!
