What type of pest is that? They move fast and they are on my plant leaves especially on the new leaves and they are all curling because of them it’s been months I treat them and they always come back. I tought it was thrips but I just wanna make sure if its not something else?
Looks like aphids to me 😬

most ladybugs sold online are invasive species, like the asian lady beetle. i really don’t recommend purchasing them unless it’s from a local garden center and you can confirm it’s a native species. my house is horribly infested with them because they are overpopulated on the east coast since so many people purchase and release them for pest control. they smell horrible and they’re a nightmare to deal with once they’ve started living in your walls. castile soap, isopropyl alcohol, and/or beneficial nematodes are what i usually recommend as they’re the least impactful on our homes, our health, and the environment.
