I found some eggs on the underside of a leaf. I have a pic. of them in my grower's diary (June 27, 2001). If someone would look at the entry and tell me what kind of eggs they are, and how to get rid of them I would be more than pleased.

Thanks Justin.

those look like squash vine borer eggs, except for the fact that they are clustered together. svb eggs are usually alone, you may find one or two together. squash bug eggs are susually in clusters, and a copper like color. which fits the description the best?

The diary entries were just not approved yet. Please don't keep submitting them. You have squash bug eggs. Scrap them off. Spray won't harm the eggs but it will kill new hatchlings. The adults on the other hand seem to laugh at Sevin.

thanks for the help... sorry about submitting the entries I think that I submitted three or four. It takes a little longer I guess to have the pics. approved. I am sorry though, and I will make sure that next time I am more patient. I get a little overly excited sometimes:).

Thanks Justin
again I am sorry for the trouble.
