we really can't ID anything without pictures. Figs do come in all shapes and sizes, it's quite possible it is a fig. Look up ficus instead, you might have more luck. As for the bugs soak the whole pot in a bucket of water, the bugs should surface, then you can scoop them out. Make sure it drains really well before putting it back.

are the leaves real hairy??? reminds me of forget me not ... which is a biennial ken

Spike indicated that the Mystery Plant contest may (just as mysteriously) reappear in the future. Thanks, Spike! This follow-up will also enable this post to "drop down", as it's been up near the top of the forum long enough now. cranebill

I'm not sure those are actually eggs, Bo. Try pulling one off the leaf and see if part of the leaf comes along - if it does, slice it open with a razor blade and see if it is plant material with a little hollow down the center. If so, it is a leaf spindle gall, a sort of tumor produced by a tiny mite as a home that can provide a safe hiding and feeding place. The picture is not clear enough for me to be sure, though - check it out. Tucker
