Yes I've taken about 15 off one pot over the past week....I think the best thing to do is check your plants first thing in the mornings & squash any that you find. (unless you have lots of plants in which case there's probably a systemic pesticide solution but I very rarely resort to chemicals).
I was advised to spray with a solution of washing up liquid and water - 2- 3 days of spraying morning & night and they are gone. To get rid of the adults I was advised to shake the plants rather than just pick off - it seemed to work
