  • @JimmyB @gardening I hope that’s the case for you! My husband said his grandmother grew tons of zucchini and never had this problem so I think it’s an expanding problem at last in the US.

  • @displacedcitymouse @oSeabass yes, it’s the small rust colored circle. They all look similar so if you get yours eyes trained to see them, they are easier to spot. I have considered not growing zucchini because it’s so time intensive finding and removing the eggs, but the are soooo tasty! Good luck with the pests this year.

  • @doomy @gardening ugh! It is a pretty bug but what damage!!! Every year I perform several surgeries to remove the ones that I miss in egg form. But fresh zucchini is just amazing!

    Spot the squash vine borer egg. This one had the potential to destroy the entire plant, based on where it was located. Check early and often! #gardening #vegetablegardening #zucchini #pest #squashbug @gardening
