Hi,

I have a feeling this could be some sort of Dipteran larva/pupa, would be appreciated if anyone knows.

Size is 1mm or fractionally over, they are on plants at the present which I brought in the house but have been in a greenhouse.

Location a few miles south of Lincoln UK.

On a different plant which was near the other one, there's several of these.

I think this is a whitefly (Hemiptera, family Aleyrodidae) pupa.

I thought these were always sessile and one of the last places to expect them is on a wall...

These were on plants in a greenhouse, according to the original post. That is exactly where you would expect them!

Hello,

We had very similar things on our French forum (http://www.insecte.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=58808&p=469986#p469986). The conclusion could be Oxalis corniculata.

Grin It seems to be the answer. I guess I have very little chance to rear them Smile

Aha, thank you all! Yes, Oxalis corniculata is the answer! There are plants growing like crazy in other pots near where this plant was. I was beginning to wonder if it was plant seeds but didn't suspect that!Wink
