Eddie17 has asked me to post these photos here as he is having difficulties uploading. To quote: The eggs I saw were on the leaf and I took them about June/July time in Devon, I have been told that they are very similar to eggs of a stink bug, but one that comes from Australia.

There's a common North American shieldbug (Podisus) that has eggs very like these, as do some Reduviidae, but I don't know which British species they're likely to be.

With such long aeromicropyles, I think it is rather an Asopinae. With that dark colour, that structure and the number (10 - 17) of the long and bend backwards aeromicropyles, I think it could be eggs of Troilus luridus. You can see here a female of Troilus luridus laying eggs on a leaf, and the nymphs emerging http://www.comman...ridus.html |
