Lol damn guys, the only thing I usually see is little house spiders over here and I’ve been told they eat the bad ones.
I used to have a bunch of big wolf spiders running around until I got my dog. Now he's the king wolf.

"Dude... So I'm fuckin standing on a leaf staring off into space when suddenly this fuckin guy's cat attacks me for no reason. Luckily I saw him coming in IR and was able to fly off long enough to crash into another wall and fall to safety behind a couch. It had me cornered back there, so I out-alpha'd it by attempting to suck myself off. This grossed him out and made him leave the room in disgust. Bro, it was a close fuckin call."

Lucky you don't live in my house. I'd sneak up and launch you like a paper football for a long distance field goal. Your kind knows to run like hell when you see me coming. lol

This really happened, didn't it?
and you saw it all go down. lol
Did he land on his back?
It's hard for them to flip back over on slick surfaces.
They came from China about 15 years ago.
Yea, their kinda like a small flying turtle. lol

They arrived via overseas containers that were eventually opened in Allentown PA. They are really bad here. I know people say they eat plants but I've never seen any damage due to chewing or leaf spots, unlike other pests. I think they almost just like the warm and natural environment the plants provide.

I saw some fairly large unidentified munch marks on a few leaves.

They are extremely bad here. They live in the trees when the leaves are on and when the leaves start falling, you start seeing them more and more. They come in any crack they can find and try to stay warm through the winter. If I see them I flick the shit out of them or suck them up with the vac. It sucks when you get the clothes out of the dryer and they smell like them fuckers.

What bugs are we talking about now?

I see bumps where those marks are. Really, I'd say wind or brushing up against it. Like abrasions but also kinda looks like thrips. Are there bugs in the medium? The damage is even on the new leaves. Looks like the starting of Broad Mites possibly.
It's the bumps that concerns me.
Broad Mites leave a tiny trail of eggs all the way to the tops of the plants and slowly those hatch and do the same thing. Hopefully it's environmental damage.

I think you might be right with the Broad Mite theory.

Sorry, I meant I saw some nibbles on my plants' leaves before I saw the stink bug hanging out.
 
I don't think the Brown Marmorated suckers are making those marks. I say Broad Mites now that @NoWaistedSpace mentioned it. I didn't even think of that, but think he's spot on.

I'd just get predators.

You guys seem to think I don't know shit though. So I don't expect anyone to actually take me seriously, but that's fine. I tried.
