Hi!

Hubby and I got this pepper plant a few weeks ago from a local nursery...I'm not sure what kind it is, and any help with that would be great.

We are concerned as we noticed the leaves looked like something was getting at them, and this evening we saw little light green bugs (aphids?) jumping and it looks like they are nesting in the stems.

I know the word "aphids", but I have no idea what to do about them. Thanks for any help and advice!

Hugs,
Erin
