Hello friends.
This is a sad year for me and my brugs, pests are getting the best of us so far.
I can't believe I was able to get such a clear macro picture of this pest's egg(I think that's what it is) and I'm hoping you guys can help me figure out what makes this thing.
In this picture, it's upside down for the picture. This little web like string is about 1/4 inch long and is supporting this very tiny white thing on the end of it. I believe it to be an egg or pre larvae stage of something. To try to put a scale to this picture, this leaf is just under 1 inch long.
Please let me know if anyone knows what in the world these things are and what to do about them.
Thanks very much!
JD
Help me ID this pest egg?
Looks like a Butterfly Chrysalis but can't tell you which one.
I think the thing that looks like a chrysalis is actually a leaf that's a little curled up, and JD is talking about the little white dangly thing in the center of the (upside down) picture...
Sorry, I don't have a clue what it is, though!
Oh okay now I see it, first I thought it was the string wich anchors a chrysalis, nature has som many tricks up their sleeves :).
The egg most likely is from a green Lacewing which is a beneficial insect.
