VINE BORER EGGS !! - Can you find them in this picture?


Group,
          I remember when I was getting started, how tough it was to figure
out the Squash Vine Borer moth and her madening love affair with my pumpkin
plants.  First of all finding a moth was a challenge and second identifying
the eggs and their location on my plants was next to impossible!   So one can
understand my excitement when I discovered Warrior-T/Scimitar and its
devastating effectiveness with my primary nemesis the (SVB).  Have I ever
said how much I love Warrior?  I know, only a million times.  Anyway, while
in the patch the other day I was watching a female moth as she danced with
death around my plants.  As usual she was very hesitant to land on the old
growth which had been sprayed.  So with a sort of reluctant vengence against
me she chose to lay her eggs on a tiny piece of new growth.  After sealing
her fate with a new dose of Warrior-T ( 14 days since my last application), I
removed the new growth with the eggs on it and took a photo.  There are two
eggs in the picture can you find them?
