Sorry, my picture didn’t post. Here they come. Lisa

I’ll add a pretty Felicia photo, as well:-)

TIA. Lisa

Hi, Lisa. Nice Felicia blooms! Those might be katydid eggs? Carol

I have a feeling Carol is right. Haven't ever seen anything like that. Thanks for showing these, Lisa. So much to learn and wonder at here.

Thanks, Carol. I think you’re exactly right! It says they may eat some leaves but don’t spread disease, and aren’t considered a real threat to roses. I think I’ll just leave the piece where it is, and see what happens. I didn’t even know we had Katydids around here. I’ve heard of them, but never seen one. Thanks! Lisa

I just read the other black goo/katydid thread. Thank goodness Kim's there to advise you in your area! Maybe those eggs would produce a plague in your garden in CA...or enough of one to be really, really annoying! Carol

Lol, Carol. I did look up Katydids after you IDed those eggs. The internet articles I came across didn’t seem too concerned about them, so I was going to leave them, based on your comment and the articles. I’m not taking any chances, especially when it’s so easy to seal them up and toss them. No nasty chemicals required. Lisa

Good plan, Lisa! I don't think katydids are an endangered species in CA. :-). Carol

Good job on the egg id Carol. We have no shortage of katydids in Illinois. They love munching on rose buds after dark. They are another favorite food of cicada killers.

I’m hoping that my cicada killers survived from last year. I had the house sided and the workers brought in a case of insect killing spray. I tried my best to convince them that they where harmless.

No , Katydids are not endangered. They're like grasshoppers with a prettier exterior. For people who grow edibles, squirrels are rats with bushy tails.

I loathe katydids, they make swiss cheese of all my fruit trees

Really interesting, in a creepy way, Lisa! I’ve never seen those...looks like bean seeds glued to your rose stem. It’s pretty amazing that they can do that. But it made my skin crawl to look at the photo, Lol! :-)

I don't really care for insects like crikets , katydid nor cicadas. We have abundance of them here and usually you can hear them so, so loud at night. I just hope I won't get up one morning and find all my roses gone. That is a thing I have to remember but so far they been good.
I remembered my chili plant was all eaten up , completely bald. I had no clue and seems many had same issues apparently at the store and main suspect was cicadas of course. After a few days, one fell in a carhood and my neighbor told me ..Aha! Cicada. To be honest they all look like grasshoppers. So, whenever I hear them, I try to find one in trees....so difficult to find one just to see the difference.
Anyway, Carol you ID it well. Bow, I can look for eggs like that if I ever find them. I am glad this thread turn out to be very educational.
Lisa, I think it is better to toss it away. Good call :)
Perma, you made me smile. I always imagine you extremely brave whereas I am extremely skiddish side and usually screaming at whatever moves . You can handle more than I can....lol
