    Hi Wilbur image

    They look like aphids/greenfly. 

    Deal with them like this - I've copied the above from advice I gave on another thread a couple of weeks ago - it's the simplest way to deal with aphids on plants.

    Good luck image

    Fill a bucket with tepid water with a squirt of washing up liquid. Pick up a potted chilli plant with your fingers spread over the top of the pot to hole the compost in - turn it upside down and swish it around in the bucket until all the leaves are wet then turn it back the right way up and let it dry.

    That'll sort them out. image

    Great.  Although my pot is very large and heavy and some other plants are in the ground.  Would it likely work if I just spray the liquid on?

    Spraying will work but make sure you get to the underside of the leaves tooimage.
