Since being new too growing hot peppers I am not sure on all the basics. A few days back i noticed a white bug the size of a pin head crawling on my leaf, is this what is known as an aphid?.

As I said in my other post aswell, my smaller of the two jalapeno plants looks as if some of the leaves have been eaten, is this the reason?.

Also i'd like to add that my plants were flowering white flowers a lot in late summer in my window sill but did not bear fruit, is this due to the late planting of these plants, taking in mind they were about 5 inches when I bought them and that was late july...

Many thanks,

Mattibo!
