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.

Janet :)

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.

:D It seems to be the answer. I guess I have very little chance to rear them :)

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!;)
