Hi all. I took a shot of these eggs laid on a bramble leaf nr Oxford on 29th May. Can anyone help with a positive ID?

Thanks

Rob

They are eggs of a shieldbug, probably the Green Shieldbug (Palomena prasina), I'm afraid!

Thanks very much for that Misha - much appreciated, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I do find every bug fascinating and relevant although I did assume it might be a moth or butterfly.

Thanks again

Rob
