Found on Pepper Plant - Tenodera aridifolia
Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Utah, USA
November 5, 2008
Size: 1.5" or 2"
Found on my pepper plant tonight. Has a foam-like appearance, but dried, like baked meringue almost. Resembles a wasp nest because of coloring and circular pattern but without layers and layers of "paper".
