Do they spit liquid out? Are they quick moving and try to stay on the
opposite side of the branch as where you are? Are they about 1/4 to 1/2
inches long and skinny? If so, they are likely leafhoppers and they are
*******s.
Try insecticidal soap. Dunno if it works yet but that's what this group has
recommended before.

I have small black beatle type bugs eating my crepe myrtles. Anyone know
what they are and the best way to treat. Thanks
