Hey Pshngo I had those last year those green bugs if you find one there are usually more around I posted it before but can not seem to find it anymore. I usually cut them in half with small pruners or knock them off and step on them until you hear a crunch.

The green bugs with a big hump are called buffalo treehopper. Presumably because they look like they have a hump like a buffalo. They're sucking insects like aphids. http://t0.gstatic.co...sozxBjXY7J91UfN

SocalChilehead thanks for the info

yes they are lady bugs. the pics were taken in full sun and the picture was taken with my phone so it kinda washed it out

The "fungus gnat" is an adult (Alate/Winged) aphid.

"Asian Beatles" are actually a species of ladybug (or Ladybird Beetle), and they do prey on aphids. Their real common name is Asian Multicolored Ladybug. They do have the unfortunate habit of deciding by the thousands that our homes make good hibernating cites, they also are more likely to bite than native ladybugs, but they are still ladybugs, and they are still great predators! There are a whole lot of misconceptions in regards to these guys. Look up Harmonia axyridis. By the way, I'm not saying the one in the photo is an AML.
