But do you still think dish soap is enough to kill these bloody suckers ?

 

[NuttyProfessor]

id think so , , some garlic spray puts them off also

They look like a type of aphid to me, the ants farm them and place them in the tender places where the can gorge, then the ants milk the aphids. It's a symbiotic relationship.
Spray them off with some soapy water as suggested, I spray them off with a hose when they attack my raspberry plants in summer. lol.

good luck

Let me add that they have 8 legs like spiders.

edit:

maybe they do have 6 legs. two of those in the front maybe antennas.

I believe aphids have 6 legs though, and these critters have 8 of them.

edit: they may be aphids, two of those what appear to be legs maybe antennas.

@BAKIND the second pic is up side down and it is clear that those are antennas not legs

Thanks for staying in touch, Yesterday I sprayed garlic water (as you suggested) and today I saw 50% less bugs but today I was not in good health therefore have not done anything with them but hopefully will spray soap tomorrow followed by another garlic treatment

Edit: btw there were either less of them or probably they were sitting far from each other but whatever it is that garlic spray definitely did something to them, thanks for the great tip

UPDATE
Yesterday I sprayed my plants with dish soap and today I saw further decrease in bug count and now I can see only 20% remaining ....

Also I saw a clear improvement in color of leaves because just before treatment the leaves were light green but today their color was close to dark healthy green color ...

thanks to all who provided these great tips they worked magically ....

Good news, make sure the ants don't bring them back, if they do try putting vaseline on the stems to prevent them climbing up, or that sticky barrier tape.

Looks similar to scale insects or pill bug family.
