What is on my peppers????

[emilyk]

What is on my peppers? These little things are crawling all over! I started these from seeds and they are still growing in my basement. I was planning on hardening off this week and planting this weekend, but now I am getting worried! Do you know what these are and if they are harmful?

Aphids or mealy bugs... most likely aphids.

They look like aphids to me. You can wash them off with water.

Those are ladybug food. They can be treated with a neem/water solution, too.

I've had some aphids recently, and just used soapy water solution and wiped them out.

but today, I saw 3 ladybugs on my plants. I was psyched. now if I could just get my bees back, to help me polinate.

Qute little aphids. Your plants show not damage. Put the plants outside the aphids will go away, some other bug will eat them.

Thanks! We washed them off today. Hopefully, they didn't hurt anything.
