Some times I wonder why it's so hard to find the answer to a such a simple question. I've looked everywhere-- and I do mean everywhere I can think of, including my zillion books-- and cannot figure this out. Description (sorry no picture):
*on underside of tomato leaves (typically lower leaves but not always)
*individual eggs about the size of a pin head, round, milky white or nearly translucent
*eggs in a flat mass of irregular shape, all touching, about the size of a dime, maybe 12-20 eggs in each mass
first appearance yesterday (
zone 6), but as I recall from last year, they'll continue to show up for a month or two.
I've found pictures of similarly sized & massed eggs, but they're all yellow or orange-- bad guys.
I just want to be sure I'm not smashing the good guys.
