Hi Everyone,

Some pests are affecting my pepper plants and I need some help identifying them. I was hoping for some help.

• The pests are incredibly small. To the naked eye (with good vision), they look like they are just a tiny white dot.
• Under 40x magnification, they look like a semi-transparent white bubble. It looks like they have 6 legs plus two long antenna in the front. Because they are so tiny, they might have 8 legs.
• The bugs move very fast given their size. They are quite active when I find them.
• The bugs don't seem to fly away when you shake leaves. They don't appear to have wings.
• I'm only seeing the pest on the top of the leaves--not on the bottom.
• I'm seeing no sticky sap associated with aphids. I'm seeing no white pinholes in the plant leaves from spider mites.
• The pest is damaging the tips of the leaves, but not so much the base of the leaves. I see white specs (possibly eggs) at the tips of the leaves on top.

I'd love to hear what kind of bug you think this is!
