Janet Pizaro on Aug 15, 2016That is a severe case of aphids. You need to spray them down with a horticultural oil asap or you will not have any plants left.Helpful Reply

AMamani on Aug 15, 2016I'm afraid I didn't include much in the photo for scale. I haven't had aphids on my tomatoes before, but I do get them on my roses. The white eggs (?) in the photos above are at least twice as big as the biggest aphids I have seen and the green insects are significantly bigger. Could these be something else? Or are aphids bigger in their earlier stages?Helpful Reply

Dayna Barnes on Aug 16, 2016I think they are not aphids from what I see. Aphids do vary some in appearance, but those are gigantic compared to aphids. Also, aphids don't lay eggs in a neat cluster like that, but do so more randomly over the entire leaf. They somewhat resemble certain kinds of squash bugs (stink bugs), which are also bad. My best advice would be to post those photos (which are terrific, by the way) on either whatsthatbug.com or at GardenWeb, both of which are frequented by people who should be getting paid because they are so smart about this stuff (translated: "not me").Helpful Reply
