What are these?
Included are a couple pics of rows of tiny brown eggs on the jalapeños plant leaves. What are these and are they evil demon spawns or benevolent singular rays of 6 legged light?

Ugh! Massed egg clusters like that are almost always evil demon spawns. Predators don’t need to lay that many eggs at once, typically.
I’d venture to guess moth — maybe fall armyworms? Depends on where you live.
If curious for definitive ID, pluck the leaf and put in a jar with vented cover (like cheese cloth or paper towel held down with rubber band, keep out of direct sun or rain, and let them hatch. Otherwise, OBLITERATE
