Orange egg things !
« on: June 05, 2006, 16:02:35 »
Whilst checking out the produce yesterday I found two sets off egg type things, bright orange, approx 1 1/2 - 2 mm long, laid in a line and very easy to sqush between fingers !
One set was under a leaf of the beans, the other was on a plastic plant pot (black).

Any suggestions as to what they are from ?
Did I do right in destroying them ?

Sound like ladybird eggs--tried to post a picture but failed miserably

I found some of these on my tomato plant so I just scapped them off.
