White Spots on Outdoor Leaf

The plant has tiny white bugs crawling on the stems. I’m assuming they’re aphids because everywhere I look online has different photos or videos and when I ask people here and send them photos I always get different answers and responses to what they are. So I don’t know what they are. But I do think they’re aphids. Haha!

But the plant also has a lot of ladybugs on it, so I figured Id just let them handle the problem.

But I definitely took the leaf off and couldn’t find any more with them on it. Also, the eggs aren’t much smaller than the bugs themselves. So maybe they lay the eggs and the eggs grow? Because there’s no way those eggs could fit in one of these tiny little white bugs.
