Hi Bruggy Experts!

I have a new brug growing, my first, and it's just about to flower (yay!). Last night I was out with my flashlight patrolling, and found a couple of these teeny tiny green grasshoppers on the leaves. They were too tiny to tell if they were feasting, but I'm assuming that's why there were there and I've seen some holes on the leaves. I know the holes aren't due to snails and slugs since I've been using snail bait which has been totally successful, evident by the ring of carnage around the base of my plant. haha, die snails die! (evil laugh) So what do you think about the hoppers? Should I worry about them and find something to rid my precious brug of them? What do you think?

Thanks a bunch! Christina :)

PS: I've been trying to research the little guys, and this was the closest photo I could find.
