Second pic looks like aphids to me I get them on my chilli plants
1st pic has some kind of looking kind of white fly but thats a bit hard to tell
Do you have ants n or near the squash?

Ive looked again i am positive the sevond pic is aphids if so there should be ants nearby i would think as they contribute to aphid infestations by feeding off the shit left by aphids

If no ladybugs a gd soap,chilli and water spray will kill the aphids

First pic looks like springtails or something of the sort?? If your soil gets a good drenching sometimes the composters will seek higher ground. I agree with the above, 2nd pic looks like aphids.

Is the kind of soap you use important? What kind of soap? Dawn? Ivory? Other?
