They have a translucent membranous flap at the end. I know they are not: - citrus leaf miner (Phyllocnistis citrella) because that moth lays its eggs singly, - citrus shield bug (Rhynchocoris humeralis) because they are the wrong shape I suppose I am not 100% sure they are eggs; they could be communal pupae, perhaps. Any clues appreciated! Mike |
