Anybody have a guess on what these little pests are (one bulb in photo)? My research keeps coming up with mealybugs, white flys or aphids, but we’re not confident in any direction. I keep hosing them down to rinse them away and applying a Neem Oil spray after the plants dry almost every other day for about a week now. We’ve seen some moving bugs, but they’re so quick I can’t ever get a photo. These seem to be the eggs or larva maybe (pictured)? On our hibiscus if it helps, which is super annoying as they’re just starting to flower!

    I think it’s aphids I’m currently having the same problem

    I agree it looks like aphids. I treat with soapy water. Just add a tablespoon of any liquid dish soap to a couple cups of water. Spray the leaves and the nodes where the leaves meet the stem. Repeat as needed

    We’ll give that a try (dish soap and water). Is that treatment only; only when we see the bugs/larva? I.e.; don’t do regularly as a preventative or anything?

      I use this whenever I see aphids. Repeat until gone. No need to treat once they are gone. I usually spay then use my fingers to gently rub across the leaves and stems
