Yellow Insect Eggs In Soil
Yellow insect eggs in soil
Aphids: Bright yellow in color, aphid eggs are often found on rose bushes, milkweeds, and other plants. These eggs can make it difficult for monarch butterflies to feed on milkweeds and flourish.
What is the yellow stuff in my plant soil?
When you see what looks like an off-putting and alarming yellow growth in your plant's potting soil, it can either be yellow slime mold, called dog vomit slime or Fuligo septica, or it may be the yellow houseplant mushroom, called Leucocoprinus birnbaumii. They're not dangerous unless ingested.
Are these eggs in my potting soil?
Don't panic. Those white fuzzy balls that look like insect eggs, tiny cotton balls or white fuzz over the top of your soil, are most likely harmless to your plants, and not a sign of an imminent bug infestation (the fuzz or 'hairs' around the spheres is a good sign it's fungi not eggs).
What do aphid eggs look like?
Recently-laid aphid eggs have a light yellow-greenish coloration, with the shade becoming darker as the eggs mature. Certain aphid species cover their eggs with wax to make them distasteful to predators. These eggs will look grey due to the deposit of wax, despite their yellow coloration.
