I agree with leverhead that hornworm eggs tend to be solitary. These could be any number of butterfly or moth species. Each year, I see at least 6 or 7 varieties of eggs on tobacco. I can only identify hornworm eggs (and probably a lot of these are actually something else). They will always rub off, and can be popped in your fingers. Messy.
Bottom line........doesn't really matter what they are from. The egg layer clearly intended for your tobacco to be breakfast for the emerging babies. As said.........KILL EM.
Uh Oh, I saw a squash bug on some Smyrna the other day. I put some Bug B Gone all around the plants. Where they've eaten the leaf, the holes have turned brown all around the hole. I would have thought disease if I hadn't seen the bug munching the leaf.
Knucklehead, I think the suspect is Squash Bugs. There're a lot of photos about Squash Bug damage on the internet like the one below. I think the specific feature of a Squash Bug damage on a leaf is making the leaf look diseased.
