Ooo Basil and Bugs

It's very hot and humid here where I live right now and I've got these tiny little green bugs eating all the basil that I've just planted out into my new herb garden. They are very green and look like miniature grasshoppers or crickets. Tiny things, the size of my little finger nail.

Anyone have any suggestions for protecting the plants without using pesticides?

How come they love basil so much anyway? They've not touched anything else at all. It's really annoying as I use the basil so much. Maybe I could use mosquito netting or something.
