   I am not a bug expert so I was reluctant to answer. I did a little search and found this web page (https://dabconnection.com/cannabis-pests-and-bugs/) that shows a similar looking bug and they called it an aphid. Evidently they can be dark bodied, I learned something there. I would consider taking the plants out of flower until you get the bugs controlled, there are several great products to control them. You don’t want to spray stuff once the flowers appear.

   I’m just guessing, but it looks like an aphid. Google an article titled How to spot, treat and prevent aphids on cannabis plants (Royal Queen Seed site)
   There are some simular photos and info. Good luck. I hope this helps in some way

   That looks like two different types of bug. The first one looks like it Has a hard exoskeleton. And those legs, don’t remind me of an aphid. The second picture is hard to see, but I kind of almost see the grainy lined texture on the big butt. So I could lean that direction. But where is your bug?
