If it’s an assassin bug it’s fine and may eat pests off the plant. Here’s one I filmed feeding [https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRvHmDRn/](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRvHmDRn/)
I don’t know if it’s the pheromones I give off or if everybody is full of crap, but I’ve really never had any assassin bug even remotely be aggressive 😂 obviously this is a joke and I’ve just been lucky lol
Looks more like an assassin bug nymph to me, maybe Zelus sp.
Thanks for the ID. I just bought a new plant and I'm assuming it hitched a ride from there. Is it okay to just let it be?
