Eeeks, those are white flies, definitely need to get on top of it fast. I’d hose down the affected plants to get them off as much as possible, if they are in containers (change out the soil to new soil if possible), and use neem oil or this organic vegetable safe pesticide for the recommended dosage and times

Here to say neem! I just had this problem a couple weeks ago. I neemed not only the plants and the raised beds they are in. I also sprayed the grass in general. Did it twice over a span of three days and got rid of em entirely! (Also helps keep stink bugs and vine borers away!)

On my brugmansia (same family as tomato) they had the tiniest larvae (barely visible, like little green dots) that stuck firmly on the underside of leaves. Make sure you get the soapy spray on the underside when you treat it.
