Black/brown dots on basil, diamond-shaped bugs

Hello,
So, something has been injuring my basil plant. There are tiny black dots all over the leaves (when I say dots, I mean if you took a mechanical pencil and pressed it onto the leaves), and I've seen a few of these guys (on the picture) hanging around. They are either black and yellow or black and white, but the same shape and pattern. Does anyone know what it is?
Thanks!
*The bug is up at the top of the leaf. Yes, there are bubbles. I tried to spray with soapy water.
