Pepper insects, pest or bug?

These are on the majority of the leaves of all my pepper plants.
They are on the upper side of the leaf. They are about 1-2 mm. long. They look like insects. They are destroying leaves.
What are they, what can they do to a pepper plant and what's the best way to treat them?
Thanks,
