On one of my okra seedlings their was little tinny 1mm or smaller balls covering the bottom and quite a few on the top as well and on the top of the stem . They were transparent and when popped(i know cause I took them off with my fingers and squished them)had a gooey liquid inside. The seedling has growen up about 3" away from the light and they were only within 5" away from the light. If anyone knows what these are It would be great! I thought maby it was excreating them possibly cause it is to close to the light .

Scroll about half way down I think, The picture Bill has of them are the adults and they are brown, but when very young they are green(ish) or transparent like you said, and take on the color of the stem.. sometimes that's how they get such a good foot hold on a plant is because they blend in so well with their surrounding color they go unnoticed for quite some time, sometimes!!!
Let us know!! Weezie

Thanks Weezie but I don't think that's them . I'm kind of getting scared. I put on my glasses and looked at them just now(I don't realy need my glasses but this is a special occation) and they definitly grow ! I looked last night and their were none just a few little white things that I thought were just reminance of the ones I squished, today though their are new one(that I've squished already) and the ones that were their last night are getting bigger and were of various sizes. The itty bitty little white things, some of them are hard to get off but the balls come off quite easy. I don't know, It's realy got me stumped. They don't seem like any of the common house pests I've ever seen.
