Day 28 - Project 365 - Jewels of Nature

Day 28 of Project 365

Green Shield-bugs Eggs (Palomena prasina) 

The female lays her eggs in hexagonal batches of 25 to 30, and a single female will lay three to four batches. Generally very small so you need to be very attentive while searching for these little jewels as they lay their eggs below the leaves and they are relatively camouflaged. It was Cheng San who spotted these eggs and it was my first time seeing these beautiful eggs. Photos below
