Is this a trick question? I get it, there are
no eggs because there is no picture ;)

Subject: 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?
