Spider mites? Might be what you’re looking at, hard to tell since i can’t see if they’re having sex or not, but it doesn’t appear to be incestual

The accidental title may actually be kinda of true…. You have aphids ( you can see them on the stem) what you’re showing though the ‘white’ is their shed exoskeletons… where the incest comes into play with these insects is that they’re capable of parthenogenesis ( virgin birth, no male required…. Hush now saying nothing to the current administration) a ‘mother’ aphid can give birth to identical clones who are already pregnant with her grandchildren…. So accidental I hope, but oddly not far off the mark!
Edited for how to treat: Aphids are almost constant feeder, a good washing will rip out their rostrum, which holds the stylet ( basically their mouth) and they’ll not be able to feed. A light spray with a Castile base soap or organic insecticide will ensure they’re all gone

Tough nail polish choice for displaying a mite problem. Thought you were infested for a quick sec

Aphids, maybe? I can’t see them very well. Someone suggested spider mites, which I’d also look into.

Aphids, greenfly.
They gather along the stems.
And they lay eggs on the underside of the leaves.
