Are you sure those are lady bug eggs. They don't look like the ladybug eggs I had. Unless it's the camera yours look very round. Mine looked elongated, a thin oval.
I built a little hut for my ladybugs. I put a little honey and a small bowl of water with paper towel in it so they didn't dround. I really don't think those are ladybug eggs. Seems to fast for them to lay eggs. Also when they lay eggs the ladybugs are huge. Twice the size of a regular lady.
That is 1 nice plant, she is sexting. Damn bugs can be a nightmare. This year I'm trying bug netting. Will see how it goes. The netting will also keep ladybugs in if i need them. Next year I'm putting all my plants under under the bug netting. Vegetables. I like the bucket trick to keep the netting up. Well good luck.
