Upload it tohttp://www.tinypic.comandpost a link.


Instructions are on the website. That is how I personally do it most
of
the time. ;-)


Another thing would be to put the leaf in a jar. Put some fine fabric
over the top and close it with a canning ring, then see what hatches
out.

Ok, I'm no eggspert (and await the opinion of other posters) but those
look too big to be ladybug eggs to me.

Personally, I'd jar them and await the hatchlings. I know what baby
ladybirds look like! g

I think they may be cutworm eggs. Look very similar to google image
search "tomato cutworm egg." I'm off to find a jar!!!
