i went into my garden tonight and saw a small wingless insect on 1 of my plants when i went to catch it it jumped onto another leaf went to catch it again but it got away.
this insect was about the size of a apple seed was very light tan colour and jumped when touched (cricket like jumping)

please does anyone have any idea what this small bug is and if possible how to eradicate it from my precious plants

TIA BIFF
