Found this bug on my tomato plants. (pic)

We had to use a magnifying glass (sorry about the quality) in front of the camera lens in order to take this picture of these tee-tiny little bugs all over our tomato plants. What is it, and more important what will kill it, without harming our wild bees and lady bugs?

3. Bad news Rob

told me these are the bugs that are causing some of my tomatoes to look puny. He had several pictures and I got confused and posted the wrong one. Now I know that the white one is an aphid but what are the other ones?
