cutworm moth eggs eggs

Hello, I've created a spotting called "Eggs of the World." I'd really appreciate if you contributed this photo (and future egg spottings) to the mission. Thank you!

I've definitely seen cutworm caterpillars and moths around here, so I think you're right. Thanks very much for the ID, KarenL!

OK, found one, but it's not as clear as the picture in my guide -http://bugguide.net/node/view/426853

I was going through one of my guides looking for something else & found a photo of some identical eggs! Unfortunately I can't find a photo of the eggs online so you may have to take my word for it!

Thanks KarenL. And Ellysse, that's a great question... I've never actually seen butterfly eggs hatch out, but I'm guessing a lot of the tiny caterpillars don't get a chance to grow up.

Great spot textless!

i wonder how many of them actually survive?

Thanks Longmustache :)

Wow... o_o

I've seen that kind of egg before, so I'm guessing they're something common. But I'd love to know what. :)

Ooh cool. I wonder what they'll be...

Thanks Misako! :)

Cool!
