    Eucalyptus Leaf Beetle eggs (Paropsis atomaria) Cluster of eggs of the beetle seen laying them around a eucalyptus stem in the previous spotting<br /> http://www.jungledragon.com/image/36860/eucalyptus_leaf_beetle_paropsis_atomaria.html<br /> The clusters look like miniature bottle brushes with each egg having a star-shaped free end. These clusters were seen mostly along stems of younger branches, probably to facilitate easy access to young leaves when the larvae hatch.
