| | | Yellow Egg ID
Is there anyone out there that would be able to ID these small yellow eggs found on broad leaved dock (if i remember correctly) - i am wondering if they are sawfly eggs - a confirmation would be great.
See attached photo
Cheers

I too have found dockleaves with these eggs on their underside and I think they're from the Green Dock Beetle, but it's only a guess

Cheers Kreacha
You are spot on mate - i have just found a link which confirms your suggestion after googling Green Dock Leaf Beetle - see the link below Green Dock Beetle images - Wild About Britain Pics
Thanks again

Make sure to get some photos Kreacha - i was going to challenge you to get a photo of the pupa - but apparently they pupate underground. |

The little crites are growing bigger every day. I like a challenge Jax - watch this space!
