What are these and how do I kill them?

Here's what I did when I had chorophyl suckers which it seems you do to. Try take a picture with a macro lens of the larvae (ussually yellow or white) then take a picture of the adult (winged or darker and larger) up to 2mm+
Then research local pests. I would start with "thrips" then cross reference your pest stages with the local pest images. Google farm pest research in your area.
Either way here's what I did which should nute anything. Put a drop of natural dish soap in water. Spray everything. And I mean everything . Under leaves and all. Then wait an hour it two. And spray a mix of diatamocious earth and water very heavy to clean of the soap. (incase it's slightly toxic to the plant) allow that to dry. Then spray a mix of neem oil. And whatever bug oil mix you can find at your local hardware(it will act as a surfactant also). Wait until the d.e is dry first though and slightly wet but not enough to remove the de. Keep misting with this every other day. For a week. Not heavy. Just enough to spray most of the plants.
Then wash the plants with pure water.
If worried repeat the neem again.
I just noticed all your dots are underneath.and no glossy looking marks.. Weird. Probably not thrips. And your outdoors? So not sure my approach would work to well. Obviously kill everything on the plant. But it's the neighbouring plants id worry about

I wouldn't use dish soap. It's a detergent, which is toxic to plants, and I've seen a few threads recently where people have used it, and are now on here looking for ways to save their plants. Something like Safer's, which is an insecticidal soap would be better, and it is relatively safe to use as it is made for use on both decorative and food gardens. Anything made with potassium salts of fatty acids will kill mites, which is what it looks like you have. You have to spray them directly to kill them, it won't work as a preventive measure. Neem should also work, and as it leaves a residue may control them for longer, however too much can damage your plants.

Also remember to only spray at dusk or dawn. You don't want the sunlight through the solution burning your plants.

Dam man thats infested pretty badly. A good dosage of diatomaceous earth would do the trick, however if youve got buds you'll(or whoever) will be smoking it. I am only an amature and I hope you'll do your due diligence on what I just proposed. Good luck

Diatomaceous earth really only works on things that crawl through it. If these mites are breeding on the plant it won't control them on it, but will help prevent them from getting to your other plants, as long as their leaves don't touch. It will also control mites that breed in the soil.

chilli dish soap spray works awesome they look like aphids

I guess it depends on how much you use then, because there are at least 3 threads going right now where people have used it, and their plants are dying.

I've heard good things about the chili spray, never used it myself, never heard of anyone adding dish soap to it, but to each their own. Aphids are usually larger and clustered at the new growth, and can be black, orange, green, or white.

Looks like thrips. I got rid of mine using the suggested safer soap which kills on contact, but does not kill the egg. After a few doses of that use neem oil, it coats the leaf and whatever hatchlings make it after the first few nukes will eat the leaves coated with neem and they will finally be gone.

Neem works Ive used it, however same issues IF anything gets on buds youll be smoking that crap just saying

There's a thread called "My good sh!t has some worm sh!t..." in Marijuana Plant Problems. Some of the more experienced outdoor growers there rinse their buds at harvest. I've seen a video by Jorge Cervantes where he demonstrates how to do it. I've decided I'm going to as well. It would definitely rinse off insecticidal soap.Not sure about neem though.
