can someone determine these white, elongated ~0.6 mm long eggs which I found between Pentatomidae eggs. They are top right and bottom left on the pictures of this site with the whole story https://arthropod...&sci=6.
The eggs resemble Pieridae eggs and look like deposited after the Pentatomidae eggs. But, why should a butterfly lay its eggs between bug eggs?
Are there other arthropod groups producing similar eggs or maybe cocoons?

Well, they are much smaller than the heteroptera eggs. So they are definitely not Pieridae eggs. Maybe some parasitoid eggs? Chalcidae or something?
