Another tiny insect. Looks like dots on a leaf.

Here's it is on a holly leaf.

This could be a sap-feeding relative of aphids known as a whitefly (Hemiptera/Sternorrhyncha: Aleyrodidae) - see http://tinyurl.com/y4ac7ch for an example. Some of these can be serious plant pests.

Thanks suunto. That's it, all white, but the eyes. The ones featured in the link are like those I saw while looking straight down on them.
