Compare to Mexican fritillary butterfly eggs, though it could definitely be something else.

Not the MFB eggs, for sure.

But your description needs some tweaking. Are these eggs in a loose cluster or are they single eggs....located on the same leaf?

Would you call them spindle/football shaped or rod shaped? Dark red orange or light and bright?

Please take a look at this picture of Leaf Footed Bug eggs. Coincidentally taken on a morning glory leaf! These may not be what you've observed, but they will be a good way for you to tell us what's different. That can help narrow down a description.

If only my photo would upload !

While I've seen an MFB in the yard, I agree it's not that due to their yellow eggs ~ these are bright red.

The Leaf Footed bug eggs were in a perfect row, brownish red and rod like, so not that either.

I even took the photo by a nursery ~ they had no idea.

These single eggs are not in a cluster and not in a row, but laid randomly ~ about 20 on the back of a wild morning glory leaf. They are identical in shape being that of a capsule or caplet (long with rounded ends) and very bright red or orangey-red.

Thanks so much !

Ken ~ that's what I've been trying, but my internet connection is super slow due to my area (long standing issue), so no dice. Thanks though.

I guess you didn't click on the link I attached. Not all leaf footed bug species have the kind of eggs you've described.

The eggs I was hoping that you looked at are red orange, football shaped, and randomly deposited on a morning glory leaf.

Rhizo_1 ~ I did check it out. Eggs I have aren't football shaped like yours and are not as brownish-red, but a real bright, clear red-orange and elongated with rounded ends like a capsule.

Stick them in a glass jar with a lid, and hatch them. Maybe you can figure out how to post pictures by then! ;-)

I will see if they hatch. As to the photo, I have a 640X480 pixel photo on my desktop. I write a post, click on the 'camera' below the post, locate the photo and open it. And then I wait. I can see the little icon spinning and it will do that for 30 minutes, but never load. That's when I give up and just send the photo-less post. Given that, any other advice?

not lady bug eggs?

Nope, hoovb ~ ladybug eggs are yellow, jelly-bean shaped and in clusters. Thanks, though.
