Hi! So my girls are in full flowering and I grow them outdoors in Nor Cal. I’m starting to see these little yellowish eggs on them. I am taking it out each morning, but wondering if they are those caterpillar moth eggs? I’ve been spraying the plants with BT once a week for the last three weeks.
What pest eggs are these?

Could be spider mite eggs. Kinda large though.
Edit: Generally moths lay eggs. Not an egg. Spider mites lay singular eggs and in random spots but they are usually a off white color. However, your eggs are larger than what I'd expect of a spider mite. Just keep those spots tagged and keep an eye out for any issues around the tagged area. Best of luck!

Just remove it and check the undersides of your leaves for bugs..
Sorry if I am not doing this right. The title of the thread matches the subject.
I have 6 plants outdoors. Leaves like this have appeared at least once on 4 of them.
Can any one identify the pest? If you are not sure please say so.
They are on the top side of a single leaf finger on the lower part of the plant. I pick that one finger and destroy it . I am curious what is laying them.

Take a look at wingless moth. Look into it. Good luck!
Thanks . Probably a moth. And they could be a variety where the females are wingless.
I found this some one else had inquired about.. on tomato leaves.

Can confirm those are moth eggs. Found some on one of my outdoor plants last year here in northern Alberta. Cut off the leaf and put it in a jar. A week or so later there were little baby caterpillars chewing it up. Those damn white butterflies that are actually moths. Ate the crap out of the wife's kale this year but haven't found any bugs on my plants at all.
