Can anyone confirm these bugs are whitefly and how I might get rid of them? They are tiny yellow faster moving bugs that are not similar to aphids. They seem to be attracted to white surfaces and I've found them on new growth of JM that are suffering. IMG_20230328_123238.jpgIMG_20230328_121525.jpg

They look like thrips to me but it’s hard to tell without a macro shot.

White flies attack a bush I have outside every year. They leave thick white silk (webs?) on the underside of leaves. Look under your leaves.
