Leaf-miner eggs on beet

Leaf-miner eggs on beet
Alameda County, California, USA
June 1, 2011
Size: 0.8 mm each
On leaf of beet seedling, next to leaf-miner damage. These eggs may have hatched; I can't tell without higher magnification. I think they're a different species from the Pegomya persistently laying eggs on chard. Although the larvae look alike, the eggs on beet leaves come in smaller groups than most of the eggs on chard, and eggs within a group on beet are spaced farther apart.
