Hi All,
last weekend while I was in Shepherd Bush helping my Uncle trim an Ash
tree he's
got in his back garden, I spotted a strange growth (?) on a
rung of the ladder
we were using.
Has anyone got any idea what it is? To give you some sense of scale, the
growth
is around 10mm in height. I had to use an eyeglass infront of my
camera phone
lens, that's why it's circular!
Thanks in advance.
Steve

I believe those are insect eggs, perhaps lacewing, though lacewing eggs
are usually spaced apart evenly (but not always)

I might add that the eggs in Steve's photo appear to have already
hatched.
