Squash Bug Eggs

15 years ago

I live in zone 7, Maryland. Now is the time to seek out the eggs of the squash bug. Check under the leaves of your squash, zukes, cukes, and vines. You can really save youself a headache by removing eggs. I removed over 600. You can see detailed pictures of the process on my blog.

I know a few things and can learn even more. I was wondering what predators may attack the eggs of the squash bugs. As you can see the main method is removing the eggs. The eggs seem like they would be good food. I found over 600 and imagine they are being left alone.
