This is my first year growing peppers and I've just found little green
bugs under the leaves. They're the same green as the leaf and probably
no more than a few millimetres in size. Any idea what they are and how
to control them? Not sure they'd come out very well in a photo.

Thanks!

Aphids most likely?
Are they teardrop shaped?

Order a quart of ladybird beetles (ladybugs)

Or use a tobacco tea spray. Soak cigarettes in water, put in a sprayer
bottle.
