Yesterday after finding bugs on my Jalapeño plants came here for help and learned about aphids. I sprayed the bugs off with hose water, read that aphids don’t like aromatic plants, so I put my potted sweet basil and a potted chives plant near the pepper plant. Today I came home couldn’t find any aphids but my plant had about ten of these flies on it. Not sure what type of fly it is. Hoping they are hover flies but they are really small, maybe an 1/8th of an inch. Any help would be appreciated.
