Thank you so much, Juan DiTrani. They finally hatch, it was a egg mass. I will place some pictures, they are tiny creatures with a long square nose in front of their eyes!!
This is an egg mass of a Fulgorid hopper (Fulgoridae)
I still have this cocoon in a jar, it got a little darker...I found it 8 days ago.. it is so interesting but I can not find anything to ID it.....Any ideas? : (
Thank you, Sckel. It is soft and bumpy but it looks like a cocoon to me?! Wish I knew what it is!!
Looks like egg mass.
Thank you, Ridgway.
I am in so much distress..... I won't be able to sleep tonight if I do not find out what creature lives inside..... : o : (
Sorry to hear this is causing you so much distress, Gilma :) I hope someone can help - a lovely soft cocoon !
