Good Evening,

I have a basement container garden, I'm growing a bunch of vegetables and herbs. The other day when I was inspecting the tomato plants I found some weird looking eggs - at least, I thought they were eggs - so I pulled off the infected branch and stuck it in a jar. Two days later I shot some more photos and the things I thought where eggs were actually something which is laying massive amounts of round, translucent eggs. I attached the second of the photos; if anyone feels it helpful I'd be glad to upload the other images I've shot of the infestation. I'd appreciate any help; there are a large number of plants growing downstairs and I'd like to nip any sort of a harmful insect infestation in the bud. No puns intended. :)
