On the 15-05-2007 I saw these eggs on a million bell flower - which is strange in its self, finding eggs on vulnerable petals. The night before I saw a moth on the very same plant so expected they were moth eggs. I asked for an ID and was told they are probably stink bug eggs?
19-05-2007, they started to change colour.
24-05-2007 the eggs had gone very dark and by the state of the petal I didn't expect it to survive long enough for the eggs to hatch.
Later that evening though to my surprise, they had hatched and the tiny silver larvae were crawling all over the place! Thank goodness I went and checked or I would have totally missed everything!
The next day there was no sign that the eggs or larvae had ever been there and the petal had shrivelled. I saw no sign of stink bugs in the garden at all after that so I still have my doubt to the identity.
