I have a small 2 foot potted brown turkey fig. I noticed some very small - not more than 1/8 inch black insects. Thirp? I thought maybe ants but seems even too small for that. Any thoughts. Too small to get a good picture. I am in Central Florida.

Do they seem to be eating or doing any damage? If not I wouldn't worry.

Dolo -- even some bad pictures would be better than none. If you have a little digital camera, check to see if it has a "macro" mode. That helps a lot for the close-up pictures.

Is it ant or not? Ants are very common. Very small.

Really hard to get a picture... I used insecticide soak the other night. Today I do not see any so I am really not sure - maybe they were very small ants. If I see them again I will give the camera shot and try to get a photo. No real damage to speak of. I had some burned leaves from a few weeks ago, but the plant is growing really well - a lot of new growth.
