Leuba, maybe they come dehydrated, and swell after they born! ;-) Martin, I'd like to follow these babies till they grow up, but that is very hard for me, it would require a preparation and a dedication of a real scientist (not to mention the knowledge). There are so many shield and stink bugs around here, that it would be very easy to make a mistake. But I really saw a green bug pretty much like that somewhere here. I'll keep an eye on these fellows!

These remind me of another spotting; http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7921030 While the eggs seem to differ (that is important) the nymphs look similar. Mine becomes a green bug like this one http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7745821 and I suspect yours is a similar green bug.

Fantastic spotting and great photos Sergio! how did those fat little nymphs fit into those eggs, I wonder?? It's all very neat and tidy...

Sorry Karen, missed your comment. Thank you for the praise.

Cool series! These aren't beetles, though. They are true bugs in the suborder Heteroptera.

Great shot Sergio! You should add this to Eggs of the World!
