|  Buglike creatures
What in the world are those little bug lookin' things? They are white/greyish, curved back, and tickin' off my cuke. (Poopie keeps climbing the glass to get away from them.) How can I get rid of them? Poopie doesn't need anymore stress, just got back in gen pop after a week in solitary for a big open sore on his side. (he healed up)
Thanks!

Thanks! | Does it look like the one in the pic below? The "curved" back is a dead giveaway. They are beneficial, but I have come across people on wetwebmedia.com of them causing a ruckus.
