Escape Pods Spotted!


I'm not sure what kind of eggs these are clinging to a manzanita leaf, but I am pretty sure I would crush them if I knew what was in them. However, I'm perfectly contented to admire something beautiful and surprising before it becomes a pesky nuisance. The pattern they create looks so space-age!

    Whoa, that is pretty cool. I've always loved how stacked circles make hexagonal grids.

    Fascinating, my guess is that Vanessa Cardui at Am I Bugging you Yet would know. http://bugyou.blogspot.com/2009/08/place-for-caterpillars.html

    Thanks for the suggestion and I'm sure Vanessa would know! But I think I'd prefer to live in blissful ignorance this time. If it was a cocoon or chrysalis, I'd be all over my insect ID books!

    Well... these look small enough, they could be light brown apple moth - a devastating pest. You should spray with BT.
