    I found them during this week on two of the leaves of my Rucola (Eruca sativa). I immediately removed and trashed the leaves which had these unidentified yellow objects, because I couldn't say if this is a leaf fungus, the eggs of some insect, or what.

    Please help me to ID these things.

    0) Hi Sven... I think you did right to destroy the leaves as they certainly look like eggs from some thing...

    Even if it is a most beautiful butterfly you would still be plagued by caterpillars I think..

    I will ask Barbara what she thinks they are the eggs of, but she is staying with her daughter at present...... :wink:
