Can anyone id these please??

If anyone can id these white annd black eggs id really appreciate it so that i can either kill them or leave them

 

Well they aint cabbage whites. They may be something benificial to the garden so don't squish until you know!

Cheers, Tony.

 

Cheers tony, someone on another forum told me they could be stink bugs which originate from cihna/japan/taiwan regions. Im not too keen on the sound of that.....

 

So how did they get onto your sunflower leaf?!?! I've been watching the Aussie passport patrol programmes, now those people are paranoid about importing bugs etc!

Cheers, Tony.

 

Not too sure at all really, were in south england and im really not sure whats going on uh oh

 

These are both suggestions from another forum too, went to garden centre who said to go to vets with them who phoned defra, i know our local defra woman from work so hopefully she will either disregard it or tell me its nothing to worry about either way theyre pretty evil looking things

 

Certainally will do im anxious to know meself either way if nothings happened by the end of the day the leaf in question is being burned

 

Defra man should b here any minute

 

Leaves from the sunflower have now gone off for inspection, he dont think theyre green shielded, more likely to be stink bugs but wont know for sure until monday

 

It certainally will be interesting one to find out!!
