That's right, caterpillars don't lay eggs, they cocoon.
The moth eggs I've came across are small, green, and spherical.
If you look in this pic there are 2 caterpillar eggs I have circled.
Those kinda look like ladybug eggs, just a different color.View attachment 1148234
WTF is this? Should I keep these? Are they beneficial?
Inquiring minds want to know

Another batch of eggs that eluded me, has hatched today!
I'm not sure what they are, and suggestions would be appreciated.
Also, a Praying Mantis dropped on the tent today in this posture.
It appears to me that it may have just successfully laid eggs and is dying since it is next to unresponsive.
I figure it's either this or the Mantis has suffered a fatal blow to the back from an Assassin bug.
Anyone have knowledge on either of these, or seen them before?

I insure you there are plenty of bugs to eat.
I think the problem stems from the deflated rear-end.

I had an insect on one of my plants today that I couldn't identify. My camera's battery went kaput on me so I couldn't take any pictures. I'll have to let it charge and get out there tomorrow, but I did an insecticide drench just to be on the safe side.
