Some bugs that I have never seen before are attacking the lilies in the deck pond greenhouses. They are bigger than aphids(up to about 3/16" long) and they are much more mobile( they can jump up to 2 feet). The small ones are almost white and they darken as they get bigger. They have oars similar to backswimmers. They spend all their time on lily pads apparently sucking juice, but when I wash them off they swim right back to the leaves. Please let me know if you can identify these bugs and how to treat them.
