Thanks 
Hey OG, thanks for the help. Found similar eggs out here awhile ago. Looks kinda like Mothra. Google said Mantis. Curious and greatly appreciate any info.

I can’t identify it, but I’m certain those are eggs you don’t want! 
I don’t believe it’s a praying mantis, though we do have them here.

Again from the pic it looks kinda like a green stink bug. Maybe a shield bug, but either way kill is the best idea right now.

Eyes and whiskers definitely look similar. Leaf is still there with all eggs. Found while defoliating and thought maybe they’re beneficial. Lol.

I would not take the chance, for all you know they might make your plant there first meal after hatching.

Momma was too green to believe anything different, but I kinda wanna see. Been sprayed heavily her whole life with BT Spinosad Dr Zymes and Regalia oh with a couple of heavy Sulfur sprays early. No Spinosad in flower.

Took the leaf. Those eggs were hard to the touch. When smashed a green goo was observed. Thanks for all the help.
Peace

Not to be confused with the Southern Green stink Bug

Keep an eye out for more, it had to have gotten knocked up by something.

Stink bug, good thing you didn’t see it young.
One of the coolest looking bugs before they turn green.
They can be controlled by picking them off and really pose no major threat that I’m aware of.

Just do not squish them…

That’s how to find out why they are called stink bugs.

Stink bugs (also called green shield bugs) are fairly common on many plants. They generally feed on plant sap and can damage fruit by leaving small dark spots, but in small numbers they’re not a major threat. I usually pick them off by hand and relocate them away from the garden. Keeping your garden area tidy and encouraging beneficial predators like birds and ladybugs can help keep populations down. If you see eggs on the underside of leaves, remove the leaf to prevent a new generation.
