My toddler loves butterflies and I decided to buy two different milkweed plants to see if we'd get any. Today I was inspecting the plants for eggs and saw that there are tiny bugs along with some white things that Google says are aphids. Are they? I don't want to inadvertently remove butterfly eggs if Google is wrong. Can someone, please help me? Thank you!!

Total beginner. We inherited a timber table that was exposed to the elements for 2 years. It's extremely heavy, so dealing with it may be the best option here. Is it possible to refinish it with ready seal? Is it safe? Are there any other easy/beginner friendly options? Thank you!
