I found some eggs under my tobacco leaf. I burn the leaf so I will not found out what was it. Is there an expert to recognize creature by the eggs?
Caterpillar eggs?

Looks like pics I have seen of the dreaded Hornworm. Not for sure though.

I've only seen horn worm eggs one at a time and they're not quite clear. Kill them all, let God sort them out.
I agree with leverhead that hornworm eggs tend to be solitary. These could be any number of butterfly or moth species. Each year, I see at least 6 or 7 varieties of eggs on tobacco. I can only identify hornworm eggs (and probably a lot of these are actually something else). They will always rub off, and can be popped in your fingers. Messy.

Bottom line........doesn't really matter what they are from. The egg layer clearly intended for your tobacco to be breakfast for the emerging babies. As said.........KILL EM.

Oh good Lord! Why not sell plague $10.00 a hit!
No but I've got a pretty good rifle sighted at 1000 yards.
Somebody was smoking a cigar when they took that picture.

Yes, Shaking hand. Not very good picture, but you what you see is not ash. Mud.

Can not tell............. Refer to post 6 of this thread
I think these are Squash Bug eggs. Get rid of them Maks, Squash Bugs make plants wilt.

Uh Oh, I saw a squash bug on some Smyrna the other day. I put some Bug B Gone all around the plants. Where they've eaten the leaf, the holes have turned brown all around the hole. I would have thought disease if I hadn't seen the bug munching the leaf.

This is leaf damage I found on the Smyrna #9 plants with the squash bug on them. Is this caused by the bug?
Knucklehead, I think the suspect is Squash Bugs. There're a lot of photos about Squash Bug damage on the internet like the one below. I think the specific feature of a Squash Bug damage on a leaf is making the leaf look diseased.
Thanks Emre, I did it already. It's nice that we have so much knowledge in one place. I'm glad you are back
