Hello! I had taken this photo on the 1st of August in my garden. This small larva was in motionless position under the tiny blossoms of fennel. Its length was merely 4-5 mm. Never seen it before, what is it? Thank you in advance! eguzki attached the following image:  [63.93Kb] Edited by eguzki on 24-10-2007 21:38 |

 I believed that it is an odd shaped caterpillar!

not larva, but eggs. Hemiptera.  Paul and Rui are right. |

Yes, and the picture shows the eggs of Eurydema sp. Looking in the same plant for adults, you can determinate to species level. |

Heteropterans are hemipterans as nematocera are diptera ;-) In many books, etc. Heteroptera and Homoptera are two orders. In other books are sub-orders of the same order, hemiptera. The last thing is that order Hemiptera is divided in various sub-orders but not Heteroptera and Homoptera. My way of thee the hemipteran division is: ORDER HEMIPTERA Suborder HETEROPTERA - true bugs Suborder AUCHENORHYNCHA - cicadas et al. Suborder STENORHYNCHA - aphids et al. |

Suborder STENORHYNCHA - aphids et al. wrong spelling in the last two suborders.  I use this scheme: Auchenorrhyncha Coleorrhyncha - there are no coleorrhynchid hemipterans here in Europe. Heteroptera Sternorrhyncha Heteroptera - wings not homogeneous (one part membranous and the other part hardened) Homoptera (ancient use...)-->(Sternorrhyncha and Auchenorrhyncha) - anterior wings are homogeneous - they are usually hardened.  |
