What pest eggs are these?

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.

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!
 
Could be budworm eggs, about the right size. But when I see them, they are usually hanging off a leaf on a kind of hair/thread
 
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.

Thanks . They look a little different but .. Agree its very likely a moth of some sort.
 
Seems like me spraying the girls with BT once a week at night has kept them out. Don’t want to jinx it but I haven’t seen any caterpillars. Getting close to harvest. Hoping I can go all the way to the end without any pest issues.

Thanks . I have 6 plants over 8 feet tall each with large canopies . I respect the BT could work. I don't have infestations .. just was curious on what I found.
