Is this some kind of egg capsule? They’re all over my carpobrotus
Attacking a Karkalla plant, Carpobrotus rossii.
On Carpobrotus modestus.
Two on this plant, this beetle 2mm long, crawling up a Cordyline, observed in company with an entomologist.
I was really surprised to spot this on a Eucalypt..I'm fairly sure amygdalina. It was big...about 12mm...slightly tucked under bark (I did take a little strip of the bark off one for the photo. The second I left alone. I feel like this doesn't fit Monophlebid but it's the closest of the scales that I can think of.
There are two individuals here. The first has multiple photos, and the second has only one image and is obscured on both sides by bark.
Sighting and photos (c) lync.
