Can anyone identify the insect eggs in my photo? All I want to know is if they're friend or foe. They are on the top side of the leaf (yes it's THAT plant) and very small; my quick calculation says there's almost 1,000 here. No other signs of insects around. I've pulled the leaf off the plant and will keep it in a mason jar with a perforated lid to see what emerges when/if the eggs hatch.
Definitely eggs, not mold. Probably some moth. Gamma moth (Autographa gamma) for instance. http://aesgsf.free.fr/V5/_media/img/small/autographa-gamma-egg.jpg Another image of moth eggs on a leaf: Noctuid moth likely culprit plaguing vegetable
