Ok - I've answered my own question - or the Hosts' of Home Grown on Martha Stewart did for me this a.m. - I called into the show (it's on Sirius Satelitte Radio) and asked about my "bugs", they both believe them to be spider mites and I can rid them with soapy water (already did that), regular water with some pressure to wash them off the plants, or horticultural oil. We'll, I've washed them off with water and soapy water both and they seem to have vacated my impatiens. I was instructed to pinch off the buds, add a bit of fertilizer and my plants should come back - Phew, I was getting nervous that they would all die. So - there's the answer to my own question
