What do they belong to?
This is a little left of centre, but does anybody have any ideas on what these eggs may belong to? If indeed they are eggs.
They (10 in total) were found attached to my daughter's tshirt which was left on the line for 2 days. They are very hard to the touch and no bigger than 1.2mm across.  Any suggestions would be great

Re: What do they belong to?
Hiya Geoff,
Great shot/find, the only eggs I've seen like this are of the 'Spined Predatory Shield Bug ' Oechalia schellenbergii. but their eggs have what looks like 'Eye Lashes' around the rim from memory, I did have a link somewhere but I'm damned if I can find it Cheers for now Mark

Re: What do they belong to?
Thanks for looking Brian / Mark.
It seems, by feedback I am getting, Shield Bug of some sort is the most likely. Guess I'll just have to wait and see. Cheers

Re: What do they belong to?
In the UK Gorse Shieldbug has eggs of that shape but not quite the same colour, some shieldbug eggs are just round eg Green Shieldbug.
