Eggs on goldenrod

Eggs on goldenrod
Pennypack Restoration Trust, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA
September 15, 2009
Size: 2 mm
I suspect that they are reduviid bug eggs. I found them on the underside of a goldenrod leaf in a bunch gall. They say that bunch gall makers are ecosystem engineers creating a microhabitat for a large number of species and it seems true. I have found from tiny aphids and mites to beetles and earwigs. And now these eggs. Let us hope that they hatch and that I can find the babies.

I agree
with reduviid. I still have never found these! Guess I need to spend some more time among the goldenrod...
