Hi all! I was wondering if anyone know what this is? I saw it crawling over a trap quickly without triggering it at least twice. It looks long , black in colour and it's really fast. Not sure if it's harmful to the plant. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks

From it's shape, it looks like it could be a little flicker beetle, but it looks a little small for that so I'm not 100% sure that's what it is.

Thanks for this. I'm not too sure what it is either but I don't see it anymore. Just hope it's not something that could be deteriment. So far so good

I highly doubt it's a pest of any sort, they are usually very tiny.

⬆️ What he said ⬆️
Pests are usually super duper tiny, and usually don't set off traps.
