Looks like them but Irish said that he came out the next morning to see these. The squash bugs are laid yellow and turn redish brown. His are almost black. Good idea though.

Deffinitly don't use neem on flowering plants. I learned my lesson on that.
I'll try and look something safe up to use for flowering.

i went out and rolled a few between my fingers and they are hard as a rock.. if they were eggs of some sort the would mush up right?

I would think so, but not always the case. Hopefully there not dried out egg casings. Just get a magnifying glass and look for any little holes were they might of exited from. I'd say just keep googling, and look for exactly what you see on your plant

Its not spidermites as they cant be seen by the human eye and are usually 0.3mm diameter and can only be viewed through a scope.
Do they jump if you touch them ???????
What size are they as i am looking at fungus gnats on another site.

Exactly! Who the hell cares what they are. They are pests and arguing of their names isn't going to make em go away. lol
You have to know what kind of bug it it in order to get the proper insecticide.
Who the hell cares? The grower and any one trying to help.
