This year I gave my children, 9th and 11th graders, an assignment to make an almanac of plant, wildlife and weather/climate on St. Helena Island and nearby locations in general and our homestead in particular. They began with a photo journal of plants in September. This week we began a botany project making new plants from taking clippings from a mother plant. We came across a curious formation of seeds underneath a leaf on our Wandering Jew plant. So I am sharing a picture of our discovery. We are accustomed to seeing spores and eggs but this is a first. Have you seen this kind of formation under a leaf before?

YES! But alas I do not know what they are from. My geuss is some caterpillar or moth because we have had sooooo many this year. See mine here…http://sixathome.wordpress.com/2012/09/28/weekly-photo-challenge-solitary/
Very cool!

Wow, thankk for sharing your pictures and comment. A friend who saw the picture asked a friend who is a horticulture student in Germany who says they are the eggs of a type of lacewing and are good to have around because they are predators to aphids. I’m still doing a search too…it’s fun! We’re going to keep a record for school and try to see them hatch if possible. Great to know of someone else who keeps up with these kinds of things. Ciao!

I hope it is the lacewing! I know we have aphids!
