What is eating my green beans?

Hi,

I have something that is destroying my green bean plants. I think I might have a couple things going. Tried insectisidal soap, but can't tell if it makes any difference. They eat holes in the leaves and the leaves eventually yellow and die.

I saw what looked to be a Potato Psyllid on the plant today after lots of searching, but there are also tons of tiny black dots all over the leaves. At first I thought they were eggs of some sort, but today I saw them moving. They are very small. I also saw a small beetle with a "V" on its back which resembled a leaf-footed beetle. It was also very small. Maybe 5-6 mm. Link to flickr page of pests below.
