I’ve found these little tiny white bugs crawling around my plants. Not spider mites. What are they and how to I get rid of them?? Google is worthless.

    Not sure what you have here. But to the shower Batman! Give that plant (foliage) a spray down. An insecticidal soap also would work. Quarantine this plant. Check other plants if it was near.

      You think so? None of the images I’ve googled look like this. But I haven’t found anything that resembles it!

    Maybe the pest in the picture is not the adult form. Based on the size of the critter I was also leaning aphid though I agree it doesn’t look a lot like an aphid. It just looks more like an aphid than anything else. I have some honey berry too but mine are dormant in ground outside

      I thought it might be larva form, but it still didn’t pull anything up, Google was not helpful. I didn’t see any adults. I want to put my honey Berry outside, but it’s very tiny right now!

    Aphids are just egg, nymph adult stage. At some point they develop wings. Did you buy two. The plants aren’t super common and you need a female form and a male form if you want the berries

      I did buy two but the other one died. I’ll have to buy it again.

      You should see if they have a warranty

    Those look like whiteflies. You need to hose it off. Add yellow sticky traps to catch them. You can also use a soap spray. I prefer dr bronners but any dish soap should work. The website I got this from was wallygrow . Com

      The things that look like eggs did remind me of white flies, I guess I’ve never seen the larva before.

      There are no adults present so they must’ve come in with some contaminated seeds or soil
