pests Bug identity (newb question)

Everything is pretty close together on my balcony garden, so I was a little concerned when I noticed this bug that seems to sit on my basil and spray things out of its butt.(eggs I'm assuming) My peppers live just below the herbs. I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't any dangerous. The only eggs I notice everywhere are lacewing eggs, or at least what I think are lacewing eggs. They are white and seem to be suspended on stalks. I didn't want to kill this thing if it was somehow beneficial.

Here is a video:

Sorry about the quality, I used my phone to take it.
