Thanks for the pics!
I witnessed alot of critters crawling today. They are ladybug
larva! Asian ladybugs! I found a caterpillar on one of the
leafs. And there are a lot of very small bugs not quite the
size of the ladybug larva, about 1/20th in size. And I
used to spritz the leaves with water to wash the eggs
off thinking they'd be detrimental.
One of the larva I saw looked just like the Asian ladybug
larva:

The larva was a bit bigger than I thought it would be. There
are some smaller things all over the bottoms of a couple
leaves. The big one I viewed lengthed about a 1/4" (7mm to
9mm). Alot of the smaller bugs waylayed themselves
in at 1/8" (3mm). They didn't have the orange colors on
them. So I'm not sure what these are as of yet. They're
quite a few on one of the leaves.
Some of the eggs are yellow like viewed at the ladybug
site, some look like whiteflies. I had a problem with those
over the summer. They practically destroyed a couple
cucumber vines as well as tomato plants and maybe one
other thing I planted that I didn't have any success with.

As far as lizards go, the ones I normally see I think are an
anoles variety...

Looking through the wireworm picks, there are definitely
some flying bugs out there that look similar. There are flying
roaches, a few ladybugs(?), lizards all over the place (they
love to eat all types of bugs).
I love my lizards! Mine are all the anoles lizards, and it's
so nice to sit on the front porch and watch them slipping
through the flowers, or sending lizard signals to their
compatriots.
