I found these on one of my eggplant leaves:

Can anyone help me ID it, and decide what to do next? Thanks.

I am not sure as eggs all look alike to me. I did find this PAGE that has some good pics and it may be the squash bug, not to be confused with the SVBorer. Those eggs look more red, though. See what you think.

Ladybug eggs are yellow and green lacewing eggs are white and parasitic wasp eggs look brown to me so that eliminates those.

These look like they are hanging from the end and don't squash bug eggs lay on the side?

I think you are right camprn. They are the right color and seem to have the same pattern of egg laying. Squish 'em.
