wtf is this?

see the picture, the white blob on the stem.

I looked and looked and can't find more. I put this specimen in a big jar w/lid to see if whatever it is hatches. or is it just sap or something? (wishful thinking I know)

I have been exceptionally lucky in the bug department, meaning my experience level is low.

found it on a second leaf stem.

I've never seen a mite larva,... but that's my guess,.... squish what you've found and stand guard with neem in hand! :eek:
