My tomatillo plant has been yellowing (as in losing its green pigment) severely. I noticed lots of small (maybe about 1/16" long) black bugs and attribute this to them. They seem to leave the fruits alone. There are no chew holes in the leaves, nor around the edges.

The leaves are yellowing from the inside of the plant out. First the larger leaves started yellowing, leaving the new growth green. This has now also started to yellow. As I mentioned, I attribute this to the bugs, but maybe I have a combination of things going on here. Either way, I'm interested in what these little guys are. Thanks!!
