I'm happy to help :-D If you look around the tree or plant a bit, you may find the owner of the eggs. Beetles have a tendency to lay eggs on food sources (host plants.). I'm not a botanist, so I do not recognize the plant matter in the photo. sorry. edit: the eggs seem to be in a slanted albeit upright position. I think that Ladybirds/Ladybeetles lay eggs in a particular upright pattern. I think that that these can be excluded. You would have to consult a coleopterist for a family. I do not study egg patterns/shapes. I have seen alot of coleoptera eggs, thus I do make notes of such matters. I am not a coleopterist either. In my personal (non-expert) opinion, I think that the pattern/shape leaves Chrysomelidae as a suspect. I do not think that it is possible to match a genus or species based upon eggs. Again, I'm not an expert. I do think that patterns, shapes and positioning can narrow the suspects. okay, I will stop typing now. I hope that I am not annoying you. I'm just trying to be helpful. Hope you have a pleasant day. Edited by johnes81 on 28-06-2017 22:14 |

one more thing, my username is Johnes bu my given name is John. My surname begins with the letter S. I think that ess is the phonetic spelling of the nineteenth letter of the English alphabet. Thus, I made a username Johnes81. You can call me John if you like. |
