Hi,
I have a Variegated Ginger that's turning yellow. I think it's infested with these little bugs that are sucking the life out of it. Please ID, and let me know what to use to get rid of them. Thanks. The bug has a bright red body, and a black head.

It's smaller than a ladybug, and does NOT have ladybug spots. The body is more round than a ladybug, too. Sorry about the fuzziness in the pic.
