Zucchini is done for the season

After I harvested, peeled, grated 30 zucchinis, I made eight loaves of zucchini bread and froze the rest so I can make more bread this fall and winter.

During my next visit to the garden I noticed the zucchini leaves were all dying off. Closer examination revealed squash bugs -- both eggs and newly hatched.

Although the bugs are pretty disgusting, the way the eggs are perfectly lined up is fascinating.
