ladybugs and cucumber beetles

NewTXGardener (8a Dallas)
9 years ago

I have both ladybugs and cucumber beetles in my raised bed, and I see 3 sets of eggs that look like ladybug eggs, but how do I know if they are indeed ladybug eggs or cucumber beetle ones? I think they're going to hatch tomorrow.
