monster mealy bugs

I haven't had much bug problems in my garden, but I probably should have been paying more attention to it. It is still productive but I am finding monster mealy bugs on my plants lately. I found some on eggplant and now they are on the tomatoes. The eggplant seedlings were young but should have been potted up sooner. The tomato I am finding them on now is old. I usually don't have mealy bug invasions and they have been much smaller critters before. These are giants. Anyone else having problems with mealy bugs this year?

No, not a problem. But if you have chickens bet they would love to have those bugs for dinner.
