Help. holes and eggs on top of leaves.

[oldrold]

Hello all, I have a potted outside grow (monster eva) that has holes on some leaves. Today I found a grouping of small eggs/lavae on one of the leaves. Are these two things related? If so what critter should I be looking for? Thanks for the help.

Probley are related who knows what critter i've never seen eggs like that on my weed. Could be native to where your at?

moth/cutworm?

I'm pretty sure they're butterfly eggs. Moths will usually lay a single egg on various leaves whereas butterflies do clusters like you have. No matter which it is you'll get caterpillars and that's no bueno. I recently tried BT spray after reading about it on the GWE Newsletter. Checked today (3 days after spray) and they seem to be abandoning ship. Normally the caterpillars are the same color green as the plants but I noticed today they are turning a shade of brown.

LOL, as I see it the only dif tween a butterfly and a moth is the paint job.

Here those would be scrambled eggs! AS said you'll soon have caterpillars.
