I noticed these on a daylily leaf 2 weeks ago and I cleared them off. Now today, it's on a calla lily leaf in the pond.

They look like tiny beebees. What are they please?

They are Bug Eggs .. do a science project cut the leaf off and put it in a jar and see what hatches! If you have kids, they will love it.

Heck, I love it! LOL Just be sure to remember and check them out each day. Nothing worse than finding a jar of dead bugs that were good bugs!! Well, yes, there are things worse, but you get my drift....

I remember when I put some strange things in a dresser drawer ---- The things? Oak galls. Now - if you know all about them (as I did not), the galls develop when a wasp lays its eggs under the bark of an oak tree. So what do you think I found in the drawer after x amount of time??? Yep - dead small wasps - and the galls had holes in them from the wasps burrowing their way out - YIKES!

I hope someone has an egg id link for you. Bad insects are so much easier to control if you can at that egg stage. I'll be watching.
