Mystery eggs on tomato plants #880847

Asked August 09, 2024, 1:59 PM EDT

I found these eggs on my tomato plants in Minneapolis. Are they butterfly eggs, pollinators or garden foes that I should destroy?

They are on both the fruit and the underside of leaves

Thanks!

They are not pollinator eggs. Clean up your fruit and toss leaves with the eggs on them.
