They are on my Impatiens plants in the house. If I miss getting any wiped off, they get larger and are hard like a sugar crystal!! I think they are what is damaging my plants!! shock
They are now on my newly sprouted avocodo sprout!! boohoo

What are they, and what can I do about them?! Please help!!

why Aphids? Whitefly? I dont know! boohoo Try washing it off with soapy water. Like dish detergent, if you dont have insecticidal soap. Make it weak-ish so it doesnt hurt the plant. Thats what I'd do in a pinch.

I sprayed them after I washed them, with clean water.

I have 15 plants and it took two hours to clean each leaf and stem!!!
