Well, they’re no longer green, they’ve been fading for a few days and then yesterday I noticed that they’d hatched.
They look rather like young Shield Bugs which is what I suspected after following Glo’s hint. We do have fair number at the allotment….looks like we’ll have a few more now!
Thanks for the info, I think these are the bugs that (when adult) emit a nasty smell when disturbed??
How clever is that!!!
Wow, what pile o'bugs! Super photo. Neat that some of the eggs/casings are visible. Glad to hear my link was helpful 🙂
How interesting, and a terrific photo!
Wow, how fantastic you got them when they hatched, a great photo too
I think that is a lilly leaf, and those are those red lilly beetles that you have to pick off (especially the larvae) or they will chew them to tatters. You may wonder how I know.
I found some today down at our poly tunnel, great shot of them
