I discovered that CPBs love physalis species the most--I had them on my ground cherries but not on anything else. Nothing on the eggplants right "next door" to them. And because ground cherries, tomatillos, etc. put out more foliage than an eggplant, I would control them by just snipping off any leaves where I saw eggs or nymphs. Worked well to keep the damage down, and I still got tons of ground cherries anyway.

It's probably "Patio Baby". That seems to be the most common mini eggplant variety available to purchase.
