| I always thought squash bugs laid their eggs in clumps under leaves. But I've only found 1 clump all season. All the other eggs are laid individually on the stems and flowers.
Also, what's the best soap to use to get that smell off my hands? Bleck! |

| Are you sure those individual eggs aren't squash vine borers? I just did a google image search a few days ago for what the different eggs look like, and the SVBs lay individual eggs on the stems. I killed two squash bugs a few days ago and pulled four clusters of eggs off my yellow summer squash. Hopefully I can protect them long enough to get a crop! |

| Well, would you look at that! I googled it and those ARE SVBs! Well I'm glad I've been picking them all off. |
