Ok, I swear this is the last one. Are you sick of me yet? :)

This is a photo of my pygmy date palm. The new shoots have tiny why clusters of some kind of bug. They spray off quite easily with the hose, so I cleaned them all off. I was spraying some neem on other things, so I gave this a shot of it too. What are these bugs and what is the best way to prevent them from returning? This happened in only a matter of days, so they seem pretty diligent to have gathered so quickly. I'm worried that I'll turn my back on them and they'll kill the palm.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!

Have a wonderful day. :~)
