Strange pest on yellow bells?

Hello,

I've had a yellow bells shrub for about 3 months now and it is growing and blooming, but its also having some issues with pests. The leaves seem to have evidence of thrips (yellow edges, silky residue and tiny black balls on the underside of leaves). I have sprayed it down with a hose a few times as well as with a mix of dish soap and water, and the shrub seems to be doing a little better. Now, I've started finding odd little leech like things on the branches. I have a picture here:

I have found about three of these now and I was wondering if anyone knows what they are. Any info is appreciated.

Thanks
