Are you sure about this ident

Are you sure about this identification? The antennae of these newly hatched nymphs has a flattened area on the 3rd antennae segment which would make these Euthochtha galeator. I'll upload one of my clearer images with the eggs and newly hatched nymphs in which this feature is more easily seen.

Euthochtha galeator nymphs

You are correct. The antenna segment is the best giveaway.

And the eggs most certainly don't fit Leptoglossus

I question the ID of this one

- as far as I've seen, Leptoglossus don't have flattened antennal segments, and I believe even the earliest instars are less spiky about the head end than this one. I think this might be Euthochtha, like the image referenced above, or perhaps anpther genus. Boris, any comments?

Euthochtha galeator nymphs

Definitely E. galeator nymphs. Flattened 3rd antennal segment. Also, Leptoglossus eggs are different and laid in a connected line

Wow, nice close-ups

Definitely Coreids, I think (eggs fit the pattern as well as nymphs). They are somewhat like Leptoglossus, but the antennae look different to me.
