SVB: Found a worm inside bruised leaf stem (central patch)! and removed more eggs

Found a worm inside bruised leaf stem (central patch, so either butternut or pink banana)!  Took photos of the stem to remember what it looks like.  The stem of the leaf looked bruised -- pale green / light brownish/orangish, with frass right there, and the stem was "dented" at that location.  Took the whole stem off but next time should probably just do it as an intact dissection.

Also removed more eggs from various stems -- all in the central patch I believe.
