So tiny. I think it's an assassin bug nymph but I'm not sure. It has that weird looking head like they do. Found it on my banana peppers, it's about 3mm long. That's my finger it's standing on, if it wasn't so busy with the antenna there this would have been a good picture.

hmm, if they're herbivores I may wanna dust my plants then.... I don't like killing bugs but I like peppers more. I'll have to relocate the lynx spider I found first. I'm gonna get a positive ID before I do anything though. Its head looks just like a wheelbug's head, and I'm pretty sure it's immature though.
the thing is, assassin bugs have a very short proboscis that rests in a scleratized groove on the thorax, that one extends down to it's abdomen. I'm going through my ID keys to try and find it for ya. and yes, the head does look similar, but like I said, the proboscis is throwing me
Well I also found this http://www.furaffinity.net/full/2790060/.
I don't know if one spider can eat all those bugs though.

Green Lynx spiders can move through 8+ nymphs like that in a week, perhaps not quite the numbers you're looking for and the nymphs are going to be getting bigger, molting roughly every day or so, especially with the advent of fall. So if you've got one lynx spider, great, but more is better. They'll move away if there isn't enough food.
Yeah, I know. LATE AS FUCK
If its an assassin bug. As the name implies. It aint gonna be too interested in your peppers
Assassins are predatory like all bugs in that class. And once THAT lil' fucker gets sum size up on him. Your green lynx spider is up for grabs unless the spider abs em at this size or a lizard or hungry mantis catches em. But its a coin toss on that depending on what species this is as most of them like stink bugs have the ability to spew out a foul smelling/tasting toxin.
But, mind yourself man. These fuckers are known to dish out bites at a scale of pain above a hornet or cow killer's

Leaf Foot eh?
Guess that explains the coloration. As I knew it wasnt a Wheel. As those nymphs are redder. Had 1 of these fuckers hitching a ride on my thumb for what might've been 25mins! Cant tell when it got on there. But I went into the store. Shopped around. Came back out. was about to get in my ride when the bagger stopped me and said "Hey man, whered you get that pet?". I looked down and as big as my fucking thumb! Was what I at 1st thought was a wheelbug. But instead was a leaf foot. Im just amazed that after all the moving I was doing with that hand. The bastard didnt plug me yet.
All that time and i never even felt it! it was contoured to my thumb perfectly! Due to how docile it seemed. Even letting the boss rub its thorax. I started to keep it. But, wound up just letting it get on a bush nearby. As, I'd rather not take any chances.
