Tom - no pics, I'm afraid. Best I can describe is that they have a shiny body - shell? - and they scurry to the underside of the leaf when they sense a presence. I'm assuming (maybe incorrectly) that they stay on the underside of the leaf most of the time. Maybe why I couldn't see the pest causing the brown dots on the leaves early on. I've not really noticed this damage to other plants - tomatoes, perennials, roses - in the vicinity.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we can't eat money. Cree proverb
