I believe those are aphids, they go directly for the baby parts of the plant since they taste the sweetest. I’d recommend some heavy duty pesticide to get those suckers off, from my dealings with them I had to do it the organic way since they were in my pepper plants and let me tell ya, they ate diatomaceous earth for breakfast with a nice cup of neem oil to wash it down.

Hahaha, love the breakfast description! I assume they are out of the Bed and Breakfast, eh?

🤦‍♀️ oh those dang aphids!  
Sorry Alyssa that you had these all over but did the drinking of neem take care of them? And it’s a 2 part process saturate plant and soil, wait a week and repeat even if you don’t see any. Good luck. Keep us posted

Hahaha exactly, running their own pepper hotel

Aw it’s okay Deb, ugh it only helped a little bit, but they were always there no matter the amount I used, I even watered it into the soil. Basically fought them till harvest 🙄

They look like wooly aphids in particular. I used a Neem Oil spray from Lowe’s to remove them on my Bonsai. They are persistent, so it is recommended that you keep a spraying schedule that is about once a week. The spray days should involve soaking the plant and soil to prevent them, as the Neem oil spray only works if it is sprayed on the aphids themselves. I would suggest testing it on a branch first though and monitoring for any damage because some plants can’t handle the oil and it’ll just kill them along with the aphids. After, if you get rid of them, keep a spraying schedule of about once every 3 weeks to prevent them from coming back.

Advice on spraying Neem oil, do it at night or early morning to prevent sunburn. Night is better
