You can hope all you want Mark,but if they are single or maybe two or three
near each other its the egg of a squash vine borer. Remove as many as
possible and then some ...they will destroy your plant. Methoxychlor is the
only shelf pesticide i know of that will (hopefully) get the buggers......but
timing is everything. Spray it...if you can find it....every 7 days or after
every rain. Pick as many off as possible!!!......G
