i'm having troublw deciphering what's going on. There are a few hundred empty white eggs, slightly elongated, a few mm long, attached at one to acacia. Also, possibly related, this green bug which reminds me of Sextius, maybe a nymph. Ants tending to the bug.

The white "eggs' are actually a scale insect it does appear to be a leafhopper nymph
