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: http://www.ladybuglady.com/harmonialarva.JPG 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.

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. http://www.ladybuglady.com/ http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/2000/2002.html Here are a few sites with ladybug pictures and info.
