Hi everyone,

who's got an idea who's the producer of these eggs? I found them on withered grass on a low earth wall.

Totally length of the cluster is 6 mm.

Thanks a lot for any hint!

Chrysomelidae, perhaps?

Could be Coccinellidae, I think.
Greetings,

Thank you both!
Regarding their appearance both families seem to fit very well (in my eyes.. I just had to search for pictures first, because I had never seen beetles' eggs before); the place would be less odd for Coccinellidae than for Chryomelidae, I think?
