Squash bugs do more damage to my zucchini than do the vine borers. Here
is a link:

They lay reddish eggs on the underside of leaves, in a pyramid shape. We
try to keep up with inspecting the leaves for eggs but they often get out
of hand quickly so we plant a couple of plants weeks apart and that helps.

They are not a big problem here. The borers are ones that do the bush squash
in.
