Leuba, maybe they come dehydrated, and swell after they born! ;-)
Martin, I'd like to follow these babies till they grow up, but that is very hard for me, it would require a preparation and a dedication of a real scientist (not to mention the knowledge). There are so many shield and stink bugs around here, that it would be very easy to make a mistake. But I really saw a green bug pretty much like that somewhere here. I'll keep an eye on these fellows!

These remind me of another spotting; http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/792... While the eggs seem to differ (that is important) the nymphs look similar. Mine becomes a green bug like this one http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/774... and I suspect yours is a similar green bug.

Fantastic spotting and great photos Sergio! how did those fat little nymphs fit into those eggs, I wonder?? It's all very neat and tidy...

Cool series! These aren't beetles, though. They are true bugs in the suborder Heteroptera.
