What do flea beetles look like?  I think I might have them on my eggplants.
I've never seen this type of damage before, but then again I've never had
eggplant before either.  The leaves have small circular holes in them spread
throughout the leaves (like you sprinkled pepper on the plant).  There are
very small insects on the leaves as well.

I tried spraying the leaves w/ Ultra Fine Horticultural Oil.  Didn't seem to
do much good.  Any suggestions - organic prefereably.

Also, I saw a huge green spider on the same plants.  Does anyone know if
they eat flea beetles (or whatever I've got).  The spider was leaf colored
and about the size of a half dollar.

Thanks.
