    I found these dark brown eggs in several groups, on both sides of leaves of Citrus, in May 2012.
    One group was on a stone wall.
    They are ~ 0.8mm long. They have a translucent membranous flap at the end.

    I know they are not:
    - citrus leaf miner (Phyllocnistis citrella) because that moth lays its eggs singly,
    - citrus shield bug (Rhynchocoris humeralis) because they are the wrong shape

    I suppose I am not 100% sure they are eggs; they could be communal pupae, perhaps.

    Any clues appreciated!
