Help! What is on my tomato plants?

This is my first year gardening and I have no idea what is on my tomato pants. They dont look like thirps, aphids, or gnats (although i'm not too familiar with any of those)... they are tiny, clear winged with green bodies with a black (or brownish) speck on them. They are all over all types of my tomatoes, and they dont seem to be on any other plants.

What are they? And what can I do?

  1. Sounds like aphids to me.Mix a table spoon of dish soap,and a table spoon of baking soda to a quart of water and spray it on them.It won't hurt the tomatoes.You can use it on anything that has aphids.


  2. may b they have been rotten my pest try making the soil fertile and add pesticide

  3. E-coli.  Burn'em

  4. they're blood sucking varmits

  5. get some insecticide called Selven seven it's a powder,,, put in hand blow on plants,,, presto ,,, a greener, use a mild dish soap with water spray on plants,  maybe

  6. they sound much like greenfly, you can use soapy water  from a misting bottle or try an insect spray from your garden centre

  7. Just make sure they haven't laid eggs in your food. If they haven't, just eat it. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!

  8. Mix a little dishwashing liquid with water in a spray bottle and spray the plants.

    Cut back any unhealthy looking parts, and plant marigolds around your tomato plants to protect them from bugs and bad germs.

    Also, pull up any weeds near your plants after you water so that you get all the roots. If you do this twice a week and pull out even the tiniest weeds, your tomato plants should recover and produce well.
