I've been battling aphids on my zucchini plant and recently have seen some ladybugs and ladybug larva. Are these ladybug eggs? Or is it more aphid business or something else?

Yes they appear to be ladybug eggs as (source: google ai summary) Aphid eggs are oval or chisel-shaped, and can be yellow, green, black, or orange when first laid. They are often found on plants like rose bushes and milkweeds. Below is what ladybug eggs look like via google.
Looks like squash bug eggs. Are they hard? If so, you need to dispose of them ASAP as they will absolutely destroy your plants. I lost every one of my cantaloupe, cucumber & squash plants this year because of them. Squash bugs look like stink bugs, they bite into the vines of your plants & suck all the sap out, which then causes all your plants to start wilting & dying off.
