white bugs on my squashes, please help

Hi, guys,

My name is Joyce Gerber and I have been lurking for a week or two now. I
live in central coastal California (just north of Pt. Conception, several
miles in from the Pacific coast).   I have several raised beds in which I've
been attempting the square foot method for two years.  One has various
veggies and herbs, and another on the other side of the house has just
curcurbits - various squashes and cantaloupe.  I have yet to get the
watering thing down right, but I've been taking notes from posts on the list
lately.

ANyway, I'm writing with an infant hollering in a backpack on my back, and a
toddler calling me : -0 so I'll make this fast. I have tiny (just larger
than pinhead-sized) very white bugs on the bottom of my squash leaves.  They
hop.  I lost my squash to some fuzzy white stuff last year, and don't want
to lose them again!

The bugs look like tiny stealth bombers - sort of wedge shaped.

Any ideas about what they are and an organic way to deal with them?

Thanks in advance,

Joyce
