long-time lurker, first time asker – i found what looks like a small infestation on a few of my newer plants – i’ve never kept herbs before and the things they might attract are new territory for me! i’ve removed the most affected leaves and separated these from my other plants – if i couldn’t tell, they went into the other space far apart from one another. i hate bugs, but these plants all seem relatively healthy! they are doing great on water and sun, and if i can kill these suckers i’d prefer that to getting rid of my guys.
photos attached are my basil and a mint variant. what are these? and how can i get rid of them?

Might be mealybugs. Zoomed in, but I can’t tell.
I’d put a bunch of diatomaceous earth on those mfers and toss em in quarantine
The second picture looks like whiteflies. I’ve had these before. The 1st pic… looks like aphid 🤮
