Insect poo, eggs or disease?

Is that a brugmansia? My stems do that sometimes - usually after one has been ripped off. It never seems to hurt the plant.

Gee, that photo is worse than I thought. The little brown squares are lined up on the stem.

If that is a brugmansia, why don't you post the pic on that forum? Monika or one of the others might have an answer for you.

Yup Karrie, it's on my Maya.
Sure it isn't eggs or something?

Did you try washing it off with insecticidal soap?

Sorry, couldn't get back on for awhile. Didn't wash off, didn't brush off, did scrape off with my fingernail. It's crunchy outside and just a little gooey on the inside. (Yum, anyone wanna try one?)

Did get a better pic tho. It also looks like it made a channel into the stem.

ewwwww! now I see it! heavens - wash it off! And maybe take some Neem to it. You should post this in the brug forum. I've never seen anything like that! Looks like rabbit poop almost but I'm sure it is some kind of egg or larve.

I'd say a line of eggs, especially how they're adhered to the stem.

Otherwise that bug must be obsessive compulsive to keep coming back, lining up and laying another brick.

It looks like someone cut up miniture tootsie rolls and laid them out for you. LOL, but I'm not tasting them for you.

maybe you could save one in a jar and see what it hatches into.

Unless Mary wants these tootsie rolls...speak up Mary.

What if it's a good bug?

NightBloom wishes that she could be of help, but she's pretty bad at identifying eggs. My garden insects book is at work too, but if I come across anything, I'll let you know.
