Can any identify this tiny white bug putting holes in my courgettes/mint and suggest how to get rid?

Could be whitefly.

Thanks - more likely than aphids?

Well,aphids don't tend to have legs like your photo. You might have aphids as well...They can look like tiny flecks of white dust to start with. Blast them off with a jet from a water bottle but obviously not hard enough to damage your plants.Look under the leaves.

Are those pictures of living creatures?  They look like the shed skins of aphids.

Aphids don't make holes in leaves, just suck the sap, so you may have more than one bug on your plants.
