I was recently sent this photo asking for an identification. I'm not even sure they are insect eggs, but they might be. Has any one seen anything like them before? Graeme Cocks attached the following image:  [75.52Kb] |

Probable candidate for the egg layer. The 32 Spotted Katydid, Ephippitytha trigintiduoguttata. Graeme Cocks attached the following image:  [92.89Kb] |
