Eggs on tomato leaves- good or bad?
So I'm already in aphid squishing mode and worried about wiping out beneficial eggs along with the bad guys. Does anyone have a link to or recommendation of a book that is a good garden resource with pictures of eggs found in the garden?
I've been searching on Google for quite a while looking for a good resource for identification of the different eggs that might be found on tomato leaves. I'm familiar with green lacewing, lady beetle & hornworm eggs, but I found nearly 100 tiny white eggs that look like pearls on the underside of a rather small tomato leaf. Under 15x magnification there doesn't appear to be any color difference, indentation, etc. The closest I found were some type of butterfly eggs. Do they sound like eggs of a beneficial or do they get squished?
Thanks,
kath
