Hi Expert,
I checked the Denver list for which insects are active right now in the garden and I looked up each one and their eggs. However, I didn't find any pictures that look like what I have on my tomato plant. I want to know if I should be concerned and scrape these off or if they belong to some beneficial creature and I should leave them alone. Thanks so much for your help.
