HI All, I work on a cannabis farm in WA state and we found what appears to be a series of white eggs tucked under a very small blade of a plant leaf. The eggs (if that is indeed what they are) are white in color with a black dot in the center of each one. I'm hoping someone can identify what insect this is associated with. Thank you so much in advance for any help you can provide.  |

Could these be helicoverpa zea (corn earworm) eggs?

They are laid in a regular pattern, I would also say Hemiptera, true bugs. Not a moth. The corn earworm would leave a little bit of space between the eggs and the pattern would be irregular.

Ok thank you for the info. I'll keep an eye out for the Hemiptera and try and take a pic of the specific kind.
