Another name that bug for you guys. Indoor basil, under florescent light. Miracle grow in the water whenever the leaves look a bit thirsty.

I am not sure what the insect is however I started to have a sillier problem on my citrus trees and herbs that are currently in my house. So I used water with some mild dish detergent. Not sure it it has worked yet however my next step is diatomaciouse (sp?) earth. It is made from the mini sea shells of little OLD critters. It works by cutting the exosceliton of the insect causing them to burst 
sounds bad but it works great! If you were outside I would suggest possibly lady bugs. They are prerdatory insects and last year when I had potatoe bugs they pretty well cleaned m whole garden and they were fun to catch with my nephew!
You may want to remove and destroy any severely damaged leafs such as the one in the picture
Hope this helps.
