Wits end with Pepper Plants

18 years ago

My pepper plants are a buffet for something and I am determined to find out what. I have looked in both the day and night time and the most significant are some little grey bugs I would say around a 1/4 inch or so and quite a few ants. The grey guys are more ovid at the front of their body and pointier at the end. I have tried taking pictures but they are movers. I know that aphids are a common culprit but these things are chewing the leaves and not just sucking the juices out as aphids are want to do. I also saw one earwig in the vicinity but have not seen any directly on the plants themselves. The leaves almost look torn as there are circles like bite-marks, etc. The veins are also being eaten rather than being skeletonized with the exception of the central vein going through the middle. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
