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

Unless I’m missing something, it’s the teeny tiny brown dot above the bottom zip tie.
To be honest, vine borers were less of a problem than the GD squash bugs. I swear, last year’s crop was all squash bugs, very little actual squash. I decided not to even try squash this year - the only thing they didn’t eat were the birdhouse gourds, and I’ve still got plenty of those.
