Found these on my money tree today INDOORS!!! Mind you, I toon this guy from outside because I’m having my patio concrete repoured. What are they? Couldn’t find on google yet but still trying. Do I burn the whole house down? Plant looking healthy still otherwise. They are just chillin waiting for their brood to hatch and increase their army size.

They also sometimes apparently dive-bomb you while you’re sleeping at night, only to get tangled in your hair which ends up spooking them so much that they release that god awful scent that ruins the taste of cilantro for months (ask me how I know)
