Second, I was planning on replanting the BoP to a new pot... Could I soak the BoP in water to force them out?

Well, I'M sure not going to be able to take a guess at this one....perhaps you'd do better by trying to describe whatever this is. Almost looks like a spider, if I squint my eyes real hard.

yeah insecticidal soap is a contact killer so you should spray the undersides of the leaves where they like to gather. Just repeat every week if you see them. If left unchecked they will stunt the growth of the plant i lost a cutting or two from outside to them because i was not careful enough to make sure no aphids got inside. another if not icky way to rid of them is either rub them off with your fingers though this will not work as well if they are hiding in small crevices like the tomato blossoms and the like

Thank you very much Fori. I apologize my iphone really didn't do a good job on those pictures. I will try to update if I manage to get a better image. I think The Logician really figured it out tho. They look identical to what I have. The Logician: Thank you very much for taking the time to reply to my post. I will do more research into the Obscure Sap Beetle, but I really think this is it. Thank you very much for all your help.

I'm not going to discard any of my plants because of these, and don't think you should either. Their involvement with plants is transient, seasonal, not an indefinite infestation. This is about crops, but the graphic of their life cycle is helpful. Once the last generation hatches into winged adults, they fly away to hibernate. Similar to how butterflies work.

Palm, what's going on with these bugs? Any other observations?
