Can't tell from the pics. Can you get a tighter more focused shot? My Cannon has a "macro" function for tight close ups. DOes yours?

They might be hatchling spiders judging from the color and fat bodies, but I can't see it well enough on my screen here to be able to tell.

They look like aphids to me. Do they look like the bug in the photo?

I say they are aphids. Buy some ladybugs online! Cheap, easy and pretty solution!

You can also use rubbing alcohol deleted on a q tip and rub it on any affected plant leaves...

They look like crickets that have just come out of the egg and are still white.

Man, there are all SORTS of crazy bugs in FL. I have no idea what those are. Some of them do look aphid-like, but others don't.
