Good afternoon, Almost every year in June/July I find such insect eggs on dried grass panicles. At first I assumed that they were bug clutches. However, bug experts have not confirmed this so far. Maybe someone here knows an answer, Habitat: Dry sandy grassland in south-west Germany. Ø of eggs 1.2 mm, height 0.7 mm. Thanks for the help.

Hello, only a guess: Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae. Because Araschnia levana also produces "towers" (but green and differently shaped): https://lepiforum...ndfotos-Ei Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

thanks for the comment, but butterflies can probably be ruled out.
