Couldn't get better pictures 2 weeks ago I noticed big number of these bugs. When I shake plant bunch of them start flying around. They seem not to do any harm but I want to make sure they are not invasive

I'm not from where you are from but I am guessing a type of white fly. They are invasive and get out of control fast.
I've had them a few times and the treatment that worked for me was to shake the plant to get as many off as possible and a full spray of soapy water focusing on the underside of leaves. Just use liquid dishwashing liquid and you dont need much. Repeat every few days or more often if bad.. Should be gone after 2 or three treatments
If it is in flower don't spray the buds. I havent had an outbreak in flower only in veg.Flower Room: 11' x 7' x 7.5'H, 480w AC, 13gal/day dehumidifier, 1.5gal ultrasonic humidifier, 60gal (27gal usable) nute tank, 16" pedestal fan & 18" wall fan. Lighting and climate automated. Hand watering.

Soapy water does stress the plant but it is the least stressful of the options available apart from doing nothing but then your leaves will get eaten.
It worked for me quite a few times and I've had white fly bad.

Thanks for feedback, plants are looking good so I would not like to ruin it , I started shaking branches alot and some flew away , some came back. But it seems to help. If I get bad infestation I'll try soapy water but I would like to avoid it tho. Maybe some other pest control would work? I was using one organic product we have here and it helped with all other bugs but not with these boys

Bluey I did use me some soapy water for my spider mite friends! I've killed them all. Spider women and spider children too. Along with everything else. Complete and utter destruction. If I get my girl to harvest it's gonna be almost a literal miracle. But I believe in miracles!

I'll put half my money on you crucialbunny as they are not like thrips I have seen, and I have not seen many thrips.
If there were damage, it would be easier to tell.C'mon, mule!
