Asian lady beetle eggs (Harmonia axyridis)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

This large cluster of eggs is on a single seed of a wild parsnip plant (Pastinaca sativa). The seeds are not that big, so you can imagine how small the eggs are. There were dozens of ladybeetles on the plant feeding on aphids which you can just see above the eggs on the stem.
