I have seen these little bugs on tomato leaves and stalks. they look
like-mosiqutos, but smaller.

Anyone know what they could be?

First thought is the white fly. try this link and see if they look like
the photo.

I've seen whiteflies on my spruce but not my tomatoes --but I think
they are part of the problem, I just have not caught them in the act.
What I see most often are little sucking bugs attached to the trunk,
they look like mosiquitos, but smaller. Can they be young, non-adult
whiteflies?

I don't know but I had what sounds like the same thing. To me they
almost looked like gnats - really tiny little bugs. I sprays with
BugBegone. It worked. Then I used a systemic called Admire. The
bugs haven't come back.
I had what I assume were white flies on my zucchini (several blocks
away from my tomatoes) and used the BugBegone (a bit too generously)
and the Admire. No more white flies.

Sue,
We must have the same specie bugs in our gardens. I sprayed Bug-B-Gone,
tomatos seem healthier.
