Anyone Know What's Eating My Backyard?
Click here for picture.
I'm having a bug problem on a couple plants in my backyard. I don't know if they're aphids, mites, or something else; I haven't been able to identify them with certainty. Right now, the plants they are destroying are ones that I could stand to part with. (They have grown against my wishes in a hard-to-whack part of the yard.) But I'd like to stop the infestation before these pests attack other plants or find their way into the hair of small children. Any thoughts?

Josh,
Here's some info from the UT Agricultural Extension Office on "Insect Defoliators of Ornamental Trees and Shrubs" that might help (http://www.utextension.utk.edu/publications/spfiles/SP609.pdf)
They have a whole section on "Insects, Pests, and Plant Diseases" - if you don't find it there, you might contact someone from the office and show them your photo.
