Its a little hard to tell due to the size of the pic files, can't really get an overall perspective. However, the first thing I would usually do in a situation like that would be to mix a bit of oil (just a little bit) and soap in my hose end sprayer and give the plant (and bugs) and good hosing down.

That usually eliminates the acute issue, doesn't necessarily mean they won't come back.

One word of caution: Don't leave the soap oil mixture on the leaves in the sun, it can cause burning. I would do the application in the evening and wash it off in the morning.
