this new, almost without moving, critter started popping up. It has an uncomfortable sting (when i first unknowingly touched it) but it doesnt seem to eat my leaves.
It is in between my mint and chile combinations.

any suggestions to what it might be?

P.s. i live in Guadalajara, Mexico

i tend to leave them. they don’t seem to do a whole lot of damage to anything.
 
And now for something completely different ... OUCH! STOP THAT! HOLD THIS TINY AD!
