The black bugs with the white dots- what are those? Are those an invasive species?
Not sure what the other brown bug is either.

Yep, the spotted black one is the nymph stage, the brown one is an adult. They need to be dealt with, doesn't look like you're in flower, so you have more options. They have been found in about 14 states, mostly on the East coast, and Northeast, but as far west as Indiana.

Can't help you there, there are many products, it's a personal choice of what to use, as some people want to stay organic, others not so much. I'm sure you'll get many ideas from other members. Am I correct that this is an outdoor grow?
 
Don't know how big your plants are, but I run my one or two outdoor plants in 4 gallon pots with large tomato cages.

They come in a range of sizes. Tiny things like thrips can probably get through, but I'm no longer dealing with worms(moths) and several other bugs I seem to get every year. My outdoor plants are sort of a side project, so the less time I have to spend on them, the better.
