Insects on my veggies?

[deltz]

Lately, espically today after checking through my plants (marrows, pumpkins, tomatos in pots) there seems to be like 1 or 2 white insects on every single plants, they have small legs like a fly, any idea what they are? Are they dangerous to my plants? How do i get rid of them?

Also when transplanting my pumpkins into larger pots I saw them deep inside my pots.

Here is a image of it, you may want to save it in a zoom in to see it a little better!

Hmmm - whitefly do you think? Annoying but harmless?

They look like shed aphid skins. They leave them all over, they look alive unless you look closely.

They look like shed aphid skins.

That's what I reckon they are. If they don't move when you touch them, they aren't whitefly.

I have lots of little white skins in my chilli pots - and loads of greenfly underneath the leaves. Came from nowhere they did

My first response was whitefly but you only see whitefly on the underside of of leaves so I would go along with aphid skins. If it is whitefly you need to act quickly to get rid as they multiply faster than aphids and can be a serious problem if you allow them to get out of hand.
