Identify bug / larva

Any idea the bug / larva? Reapplied insecticide soap. Might need to change plans if she starts flower before they're dealt with. For additional reference see diary, and also I have tomatoes and peppers in the same "garden". Pics are at 60x magnification - first 2 on plant.

Hey Growmie, Looks like your dealing with an aphid problem. Neem oil, insecticidal soaps, and horticultural oils are effective against aphids. Be sure to follow the application instructions provided on the packaging. You can often get rid of aphids by wiping or spraying the leaves of the plant with a mild solution of water and a few drops of dish soap. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember "Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time"

Aphids. So this problem wont go away, so while you can kill them, youre growing outside so they will just keep coming back. But there is good news! Aphids are also the favorite snack of ladybugs, who will not hurt your plant at all. Long term solution is to buy some ladybugs online and put them in your garden! CHEERS!!

Yep, Mr_weeds_autos is correct regarding those white bugs. About the black dots you have, in case it wasn't answered, could be a couple things. First, and most likely, is Lace bug eggs. Same cure as the Aphids; soap, oil, and daily maintenance. The other reason is mold. It happens often when plants receive water from above. Its super common. You could probably look closely at the siding on your home, and see similar black dots. Removing the affected leaves is best solution. Good luck.

Looks like aphids; Growing outdoors has the downside of attracting many different kind of bugs. Keep in mind that you should not spray buds. IF you can do try to get ladybugs to feast on those pests
