HELP! Little black bugs on pepper plant
So I've started growing a pepper plant a couple months back (my teacher gave me a seed but didn't specify what type of pepper, but I believe it was a baby bell pepper seed) and I've managed to keep it alive, which I'm pretty proud of because this is the first plant I've managed to keep alive for more than a week (and I'd love to keep it alive) . But recently, I've noticed that my plant has started drooping. I looked under the leaves and on the stems and saw that there were tiny black dots that were in clusters along with some small black insects with wings. The body of the insect is small, black, and round with long transparent wrings. I have no idea what the insects or black dots are and I'm starting to worry because I'm pretty sure they're the reason for my pepper plant to be drooping. If anyone recognizes what they are, and also how to get rid of them, I'd REALLY love the help
