Family Membracidae, Enchenopa sp. over Bolbonota sp.
These egg masses seem to be from two different species of treehoppers.
Egg mass of Enchenopa sp. over egg mass of Bolbonota sp.
Wow! Incrível!
asergio, I'm not sure that it looks like a lerp or a scale insect. Overlapping would be unusual. Both being different is unusual too. My first thought is an egg sac and I'm not certain either. There are strange things going on in Brazil.
Martin, you know a lot about scale insects and lerps, what do you think of this one?
my first thought was mantis egg sac, on closer look I'm not sure at all...
Arlanda just mention about Scale Insects maybe that help :)
