Yellow eggs on the underside of a leaf.

Notes:

This plant is infested by black aphids, I saw some Asian lady bugs feeding on them. Probably these eggs belongs to an Asian lady bug.

Hi medusasnakes123! Thanks for your comment. The plant is Punica granatum, a variety for gardens. Despite Southern Monarch (Danaus erippus) is described for my province, actually I´ve never see one on my area.

It does look like lady bug eggs. Do you know what plant they are on? If it is milkweed then they are most likely monarch butterfly eggs.
