Aphids.
Treat with generic insecticide. Or a nicotine spray. Or a soap/alcohol spray.

is that an azelia? if so also keep in mind that lace wings are a pain in the tail and will make a yellowing spotting all ove the leaf. treatable with insecicides like seven or systemice insecticides. be careful in potted plant through

What do lacewings have to do with this? Are you suggesting the aphids should be treated using biological controls? I think that is a bit much for a single plant, probably kept indoors?

well it kinda looked like an azalea and i have been doing this for aprox 15 yrs professionally as a nursery specilist. yes its a aphid but if you have an azalea you want to keep your eye out if grown outside for lacewings. they as small and do quite alot of damade and are a bit annoying to get rid of.

Odd. I have never heard of lacewings doing damage to plants. I am always very happy to find them in my plants are they are an important predator of aphids.

Lacewings are 0.5 - 2 cm. I would not call it small compared to aphids :P .

What sort of damage do they do?
