I agree with the diagnosis of flea beetles. Excellent pics! I wish you were nearby, I would have you photograph my honeybees! I have taken lots of pics of them, but the camera resolution is not too great.
My neighbor, who is in his 70's, swears by a tea made by soaking cigarette tobacco in about a cup of warm water, them spraying that on the eggplant. Nicotine is a natural insecticide. It always works for him. Might be worth trying.
