Community tree planting along road side.
Community tree planting along road side.
With a white moth egg nest on end of branch. The white thing was removed from the plant and kept inside a house and photographed again on Nov 23 2021. It was partially opened up and red eggs found inside. 12 if the eggs were removed and kept with moist tissue paper to see if moisture would promote hatching.
There is a similar observation made on 22 Nov 2021 of the white egg case covered with small caterpillars. See https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/101750034
The egg case looks remarkably like the flower or flower bud of this plant ! Clever camouflage
