I have a vegetable/fruit/herb garden and I have found it infested with some kind of bug. They are less than 1/4" (0.6cm) long, have small wings, and their bodies appear black with white stripes. I do see them flying around but more often than not I seen tens if not hundreds of them walking around on the soil.
I also see what I suspect are small ones, eggs perhaps, white specks that seem to stick to my plants (especially my mint plant). I see tiny green bugs as well, I cant tell if they are the same as these or younger, but they don't look like the descriptions I have seen of aphids.
I captured one of them and took some photos. I need to understand what they are, what problems they might pose to my growing garden and me, as well as how to get rid of them if need be.
