I couldnt see the white bug, but you definitely dont want those eggs on there. I dont know what they are but he only reason to lay eggs on a plant like that is so the newly hatched will have something to eat. Get them off of there and spray with insecticidal soap. I just found white flies all over my eggplants so I am in a "kill the bugs" mood right now. You might want to post on the pests forum if no one here can give you a specifc ID.

Looks like mealy bugs.

Eggs not mealybugs.
Eggs of a moth.
You'll soon have caterpillars -- lots and lots -- unless you squish the eggs.

A nuymph of some type of Acanaloniid Planthopper? That's the closest I'm coming up with on Google. I've never seen such a thing before. Sounds like they're not outrageously damaging, but I still wouldn't want them in my yard either!

Here is a link that might be useful: thinking this guy looks similar

I have never seen this before either, and it grosses me out. Bugs are the only thing I hate about gardening! I don't know why, they don't bother me anywhere else, but I hate anything on my plants.

Good Luck, let us know how it comes out. I am curious if they will come back.

Well, I removed the eggs as soon as I took the picture and the fuzzy guy took a little hunting on my part. Apparently he jumps or flies, but I eventually got him in my soap bucket.

Macky77 thanks for the link. I wish I could have gotten a close up of it to compare but it was coming out blurry. It does look similar though.

thanks for the help

The little white creature looks like mealy bugs to me also. Look up lady bug eggs and it you have anything else that looks different get rid of them.
I would like more info on the white creature also. I had these about 2 years ago.

Definitely not aphids or mealy bugs. I wonder if they are good eggs or bad? Can you take a sample to your local extension agent for i.d.?

Educate yourself and us!

If you find more, pluck off the whole leaf (or two or three), drop them into a clear jar and cover with a piece of fabric.

See what hatches out. If they're bad guys, you'll know in the future. If they are parasitic wasps or something, they are the good guys.

The hopping clues me in that it's the planthopper mackey77 mentioned. I have had them, they are not very damaging, though they do feed on plant juices. No need to go on a hunting expidition unless you find lots and lots of them (or they are on something really special). Plants can take some feeding damage (it's sort of like our immune system where a little challenge can bring greater overall health). Also, they (hopper larva) are pretty mobile and don't neccessarily sit in the same plant for a long time. I guess overall, not really good guy or bad guy; sort in-between guy...

Cheers!

Might be in between guy, but sure is fugly.
Ha, reminds me when I 1st saw a swarm of lady beetle larva. Glad I didn't use any chemicals ;)
