Ive killed 2 caterpillars that were on my plant so far. I noticed some spots under a fan leaf and started removing them but figured id snap some shots to see if they could be identified.
Ive only seen caterpillars on the plant, the only real pest around here are moths.

The moths are what are laying the eggs .. cabbage looper
The black specks in the photo would seem to be their poop. But I don't know what the other object is..

I would take it easy on the BT.. The plant is in veg?

The moth won't eat the plant .. But they lay the eggs. A clean space no moths. You can add a UVC bug zapper trapper outside the plant area to help.
I added a link to the posting above there you should be fine in your case.

I was thinking aphid but honestly can't tell from the picture. I don't see legs just an oblong light green thing.

I didn't see this picture. That looks like a white fly...

Let your BT work since you applied it and watch the plant close. BT won't kill the white flies..
Or aphids if those are there also. That pic the leave looks pretty beat up
