I was not able to locate an image of an emerging nymph, but the remains in the hatched eggs looks familiar. Here is a link to hatching stink bugs from Bugguide http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2010/07/23/newly-hatched-harlequin-stink-bugs-we-believe/

Photos added of the emerging nymphs - Not sure if that is mom at the top keeping a watchful eye or an unrelated species after a tasty snack!

Thanks Maria! Jacob, I'll add this to your moths mission then.
Jacob Gorneau
Definitely moth eggs in my opinion. While butterfly eggs are laid as a whole, sometimes moth eggs are not.

Sergio, hopefully I will see the caterpillars soon & get to bring a couple in & raise them.

I guess so Dan! I'll add it to the mission.

So tiny! Would this be suitable for Signs of Wildlife?
KarenL
Thanks gatorfellows, I will keep checking on them & hopefully I will get to see what comes out!

Here is what mine looked like as they hatched. They do not disperse right away, which is helpful for getting a photo. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/11178580

Stink bugs lay eggs like these in this kink of pattern. Keep an eye and see who comes out.

Thank you Luis & Antonio! Interesting how you both saw different things here - Luis, you must have beer on your mind!
