Tortricid Eggs Tiny patch of scale-like eggs on a stainless steel refrigerator (outdoors) at a mixed forest edge. I thought it was a spot of rust; THAT is just how small these were. Updated: Just checked on these, and almost all of the cells are empty. There are two cells with tiny larvae inside though. I&#039;ll post photos of it later!<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/116042/tortricid_eggs.html" title="Tortricid Eggs"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3231/116042_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=7CyJl94j2wsGBJZVje3uGlomOxM%3D" width="200" height="200" alt="Tortricid Eggs Tiny patch of scale-like eggs on a stainless steel refrigerator (outdoors) at a mixed forest edge.

My suspicion is that this is the Tortricid mommy that laid the eggs:

      aren't they wild? They are all (but one) emptied now. There is a tiny caterpillar left in one of the cells, but I'm wondering if it is unviable? I'll post a photo once I get some energy Posted 4 years ago
