OK a can research it for ya. What type of plant is it on? Are those eggs and a 6 legged black critter?
It is on a Roma tomatoe plant, yes it is eggs. The bugs have a black head and a bright green abdomen. I can't figure out how to look them up.
Thanks.
I believe they are a type of Aphid. Read this and try what he suggests for aphid attraction. : )

Soapy water sprayed from a spray bottle will give you some control. The soap strips the waxy outer layer(cuticle) off causing them to dry out. couple drops in an old windex bottle, fill with water, shake, let settle then spray those nasty critters down
thanks
