Does anyone know what this egg is? It’s extremely zoomed in because it’s microscopic, much smaller than a pin head and barely visible to the eye. Since the strong zooming the color is slightly off, thru a 30x’s magnifier its much greener taking on the lush color of the leaf internally and external it’s very clear but the green leaf matching gives it a cloaked appearance, easy to miss. I removed the leaf and placed in a jar with cheese cloth top to see if it hatches. BTW I’m not sure if there are more on other leaves but still looking … Any suggestions?
... Time permitting I inspected 5 plants this morning, I have to say 3 of them are very hard to do a perfect job because they are so bushy. I must have pulled 50+ of these hornworm eggs between the 5 different plants and I’m sure I could fine more on the bushier plants but even then I could miss some.
