Does anyone know what this is? They are attached to the stems of my Ruellia. You can pop them right off. Hard shelled casing. Not sure if I should leave them alone or pick them off. Location Southern Ohio. Thanks

Sorry, I can't say what kind of egg you have there. If I were to guess I'd say some kind of spider. You said it's hard but does it look like it could be made from silk? A closer look would help.

They will kill your plant! It think! Once they hatch they will most likely eat it all!

Hi Selena Welcome! Do you recognize and can you name the plant eating pest?

That nasty pest is a Barnacle scale.

Some of the other photos posted long ago look like they could possibly be types of soft scale insects, but the photos are too low-quality to be sure.

Hoping someone can help identify these. I found them on the bottom of my indoor aloe Vera plant pot. Also a mass of different eggs on the side shown in the last 2 pictures. Thanks for any help!

Not sure but would guess some kind of moth or pest laid eggs on your plant. I'd remove them.

So I planted a few flowers a couple months back and they're all doing quite well.
Apart from my Dahlias. They're flowering but they're being eaten to death, I assume by slugs with the amount that's being eaten from the leaves and some of the flower heads are damaged too.
Does anyone know what these brown pellets are? They look like droppings.
