So I went out to my two Centennial plants today (one of which is doing much better than the other) and found some more holes in the leaves. I discovered 3 distinct egg clutches underneath different leaves.

I promptly removed the leaves and disposed of the eggs but I thought I'd post the pictures here and see if anyone had any information or insight about what they might be. (Sorry for the first pic being blurry, iPhone camera was hesitant to focus on such a small thing…)

Thanks!

2nd one is a spider nest, harmless and possibly beneficial and they are likely feasting on the insects eating your leaves.

3rd one kinda looks aphid-y, but not really... don't like the look of them definitely remove.

1st one could be slugs, not sure. Probably best to remove.
