Found the culprit! - but what is it?

Hi,

Still worrying about my eggplant leaves which are being eaten by something. When I looked closer I saw these little little green crawly bugs (not worms)...about the size of a pin head. Looking closer still I saw white dots that resemble eggs.

(I took some pics, but haven't uploaded them yet)

I looked at pics of baby japanese beetles, flea beetles and slugs and it doesn't match any of those...

any ideas?
Thanks!
Marion

Have you checked aphids?

It really sounds like aphids on the plants. Aphids feed on plants by sucking the juices from them. If you have holes in your leaves, your eggplant is being eaten by something else.
