I know it is not a very good picture, but they are a light greenish color with a brown head. They have legs in the front that they move along with. It appears there is only one in each bud. They DO NOT flip or hop away, so I don't think it is a hibuscus (gall) midge. If I try to knock it off my finger, it can lower itself down with a thread or web like a spider does. It is about a quarter inch long.
Any clues? Thanks
