Found these eggs on higher-up spines of my Trichocereus cactus. Any idea who they belong to? (lemmy.world)

Small white spherical eggs, with small orange/brown dots, are laid in straight lines on a cactus spine

Should have mentioned, I'm in SoCal right next to the San Fernando Valley.

Those are Jake's. Please be careful with them, Jake will be back later for them.

Moth or butterfly is my best guess and my second guess is that whatever comes out of it is going to find that cactus very tasty.
