Bugs!

Hello!

I have a small container herb garden and a few small pots on a window sill in my kitchen. Recently I found these bugs. What are they and how do I get rid of them? They are ruining my basil!

While I can't positively I.d. your "bugs" (and Basils are notoriously pest-free plants), if I were you I would just gently wash your Basil plant's leaves under gently running water (both upper & undersides of the leaves) & repeat in a week or two if the bugs reappear.
