| While picking green beans I found these eggs on one of the leaves.
Are they friend or foe? Thanks,

| Those appear to be the eggs of one of the species of the leaf-footed bug, a fairly common garden pest. I'd suggest a "search and squish" party. |

| Thanks rhizo 1. I've been off line until today. I would love to see a picture of the bug itself. I threw the leaf with the eggs away. I'll keep an eye out and destroy any more eggs I find. Thanks again, |

| You should google it. They can get huge if you don't kill them. Their nymphs are orange with black legs. They really look like they have a piece of leaf stuck to part of their hind legs. |

| Thanks Zachey. They look really strange! I'm glad I destroyed those eggs! Betty |
