Appreciate the invitation, Teresa, but as Karen points out your mission is local and these were spotted in Costa Rica.

That mission is local to the SouthEastern US only!

In my search of insect eggs I've found squash bugs eggs that are similarly shaped and deposited. But I question whether they would be on something as fibrous as palm. Any ideas? Oh and yes, asergio, VERY ice.
