Identify this bug
On the new growth leaves of my gardenia and on my golden shower tree sapling there are these insects that look like very thin small white grains of rice. It would appear they are feeding off the leaves as they tend to shrivel up after. Any ideas? Thanks.

I also use some Safers Soap Spray every 4 to 5 days in case of a new hatch. Good luck, Hector

I was treating them with a Schultz anti-insect/fungus. The rice guys on the one plant have finally decreased to possible extinction now. I didn't see the aphids again until today. I switched over to Safers insectidal soap now. We'll see how it goes.
I've also decided that aphids are freaky looking.
