Hi,

can someone help me - is this an egg or a seed? I found it on Philadelphus sp. or Deutzia sp.

Length 2 mm.

Thanks a lot!

The surface texture looks like a seed to me.

Alright, thanks Tony! In fact I would have been a bit surprised if I had found an egg on such "exotic" plant...but you never know ;)
Best regards,
Lennart

Looks like a pupa of Sawfly (Symphyta)?
