They like to hide under the leaves but I usually catch a few on the top. Have been turning my mint into patchy grey leaves that eventually wither and fall off.

    I just screenshotted your post and showed to ChatGPT, I highly recommend. It’s answer was:

    “The insect in the image appears to be a type of thrips. Thrips are tiny, slender insects with fringed wings. They can cause damage to plants by feeding on them, leading to discoloration and distortion of leaves. If they are indeed the cause of the damage to your mint leaves, you might want to consider integrated pest management techniques to reduce their population and protect your plants.”
