| My Atlantic Giant pumpkin plants are fading fast, and I just was looking at the leaves. A couple of them had a whole bunch of black disc shaped eggs on thin stalks. They were not in clusters, but spread all over, some with 2 or 3 eggs on a stalk. Bigger than squash bug eggs, a little over 1/16 inch in diameter, but quite thin. I can post a picture later, but does anyone know what kinds of eggs these might be?

| Sounds like Squash Vine Borer eggs except they are more brown than black. Lots of info if you put it in search. |

| Not insect eggs at all but the spore packets from an artillery fungus or a bird's nest fungus. |

| Thanks for the ID, rhizo. No wonder I couldn't find a match on google searching for insect eggs! I didn't know the spore packets would be attached by stalks like that. Alex |
