It could be aphids or spider mites (but you probably can't see the spider mites). I would first try spraying them with water and see if they fall off. My experience with aphids is they just move out of the spray. I will get a paper towel and carefully wipe them off. Neem oil should help, too.

Great advice – I sprayed the plant with cold water on the strongest setting and that removed them! Glad I didn't need to use any pesticides or chemicals.
