Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Critters on my hoyas...what do I do?, 1 by RainGazer

Well, upon close inspection of one of my hoyas, I have found some critters. There are three that I can see, but I may have missed some, though I checked VERY well. There were none on any of my other hoyas, or any other plants, that I could find. Can anyone tell me what these are and what I should do to treat and get rid of them? My first inclination is to put it under the kitchen faucet and wash them off, but I don't know if that's a good idea, and I'm sure that's not all I'll need to do. Following are several pictures.
Any help is most appreciated!
Thanks!

Edited to add:
I have Safer insecticidal soap and rubbing alcohol if these are the types of pests to respond to that kind of thing.
