There are some other possibilities, but the eggs of the squash bug are sometimes referred to as that color.

Can you kill the eggs before hatching or must you remove them from the plant?

After making sure that they are not ladybug eggs, they can be smushed in situ! You will find them quite firmly attached, so squishing makes more sense.

Yes, the eggs clusters look like the picture. I will remove them. What do ladybug eggs look like? Thanks so much.

Ladybug eggs (also squash bug beetle eggs) are usually described as yellow or orange. They are clearly spindle shaped.

Your pictures are fabulous. I need to save them somehow so I won't have this question again next year.
Thanks.

Please don't think that they are my images. NONONO. I've simply done a GOOGLE search for a good .edu site to share. I googled 'squash bug' for you so that you could see some good images.
