Orange eggs on stem

Hey everyone, lately I have found a couple of little orange eggs on the main stem of one of my plants. They are pretty big and can easily be seen naked eye. I have not seen any bugs or witnessed any bug damage, any idea what these are? I'll get some pictures if I find anymore.

Sounds like aphids to me, in a book I have it says ants farm them by sticking em to plant stems and letting em eat the plant so they can in tur eat them...

try google'ing SCALE insects.


they are sap suckers.


see if they match.
