ok this is hard to explain so bare with me.

ok well I have a ficus plant and today I noticed that the leaves were foldered in after and kinda shriveled

so I took a few and unfolded them and what is inside was what looked like to me eggs...then whitish clear like larva that wiggled and moved then (all of which being extremely tiny) and very small black adult bugs (is what I'm gussing) they kinda wiggled around too much like a silver fish does but much MUCH smaller and black.

My question is what in the world is it and how do I get rid of it?!?!

if it helps any I live close to the coast of Galveston in Texas and

its been VERY VERY hot and humid and just wet.

Thank you for your help
