What kind of eggs are on my tomato plant
I bought ladybugs and release those. 2 weeks later I have some eggs
on the underside of my tomato leaves. Could these be ladybug eggs? I googled (image search) them, and they look like them, except they aren't yellow. Mine are more whitish. They don't look like the aphid eggs google came up with, so that is good. They are a bunch of eggs all clustered together. Any ideas? Do I leave them be and see what becomes of them??? Or do I squash em? |

Upload it to http://www.tinypic.com and post 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. -- Peace!

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

Look very similar to google image search "tomato cutworm egg." I'm off to find a jar!!! |
