What are these microscopic creatures in hibiscus?

Any idea what are these - all over a hibiscus plant. They look like black dots until u zoom in.

I was thinking thrips from your description but looking at your picture, the shape reminds me of aphids which love hibiscus. Though all the aphids I have seen are easy to see.

Do you think they are these?
