Moth Eggs From what I've researched, I believe these delightful tiny pearl-like objects on the underside of a yucca leaf are moth eggs. Each no bigger than a pin head. Any advice re ID welcome. Australia,Insect Eggs,Lepidoptera,Macro,Moth,moth eggs Click/tap to enlarge Promoted

Moth Eggs

    Leptocneria reducta is the closest I can find - and they are known to miss their target hosts plant sometimes. :) Posted 7 years ago

      Thank you for that Mark. I did see this species pop up on Google when searching for eggs with a similar appearance. They certainly look the same - but I'm not sure I should have even labelled them as moth eggs....am keeping a eye on them every day for changes and activity. Posted 7 years ago
