I find eggs on the underside of a leaf of red chard in a bed where the chard is infested with black aphids. Four eggs look damaged (bitten?), and a fifth, near the right end, is smaller than the others.

OK except one tiny thing
It looks fine, but there should be a comma after "California."
You can also use my moth series if someone in the know ever confirms that the creature is

the buddleia budworm, or identifies it as something else.
