Found these on my screen door the other day. The stick-like thing is about 7cm long, so they are tiny. I'm pretty sure they've emerged from the brown thing, judging from the holes all along it, which match up in number to the bugs. And yes, I think they are bugs (Heteroptera).Bugguide.net is hard to use unless you can narrow it down some, so I did a Google search for "hemiptera egg chain" and found an image of Leptoglossus in Florida that is sort of in the neighborhood (note, the family on that page appears to be erroneously spelled Corcidae, when it should be Coreidae). So I'm tentatively tagging this Coreidae.Bugguide.net has this: bugguide.net/node/view/139473They are different but similar.
Coreid bugWe found a family of these bugs living on new shoots of a young River gum tree. It is interesting to see the damage being done by these bugs. It appears that they bore into the stem near the tips of the young branches and suck out the juice of the twig. The tip withers and dies. It is the first time I have seen the pretty nymphs of this family.Photo: Jean
