Huh? Indoor Trees Under Attack

Today after school I noticed some yellowing leaves on my indoor plants. I have serissas and some murrayas and two lemons... There are small pests on the under side of the leaves. Here's a picture of what they look like. I took the picture with my 2.0 megapixel camera trough a magnifier to enlarge the small thingy.

Tiny-Plant .. looks like aphids.. good stream of water will blast them off or smash them with your fingers. A weak soapy solution will also take care of heavy infestations.

Yes, it thougt so. I have smashed all I can find, and I'm also using a soapy solution. There are still a few of them on my trees but most of them are gone. They made some serious damage to my new serissa cuttings
