Hi, I have a feeling this could be some sort of Dipteran larva/pupa, would be appreciated if anyone knows. Size is 1mm or fractionally over, they are on plants at the present which I brought in the house but have been in a greenhouse. Location a few miles south of Lincoln UK. Janet

On a different plant which was near the other one, there's several of these. |

I think this is a whitefly (Hemiptera, family Aleyrodidae) pupa. |

I thought these were always sessile and one of the last places to expect them is on a wall...

Hello, We had very similar things on our French forum (http://www.insecte.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=58808&p=469986#p469986). The conclusion could be Oxalis corniculata. Pierre Duhem |

 It seems to be the answer. I guess I have very little chance to rear them |

Aha, thank you all! Yes, Oxalis corniculata is the answer! There are plants growing like crazy in other pots near where this plant was. I was beginning to wonder if it was plant seeds but didn't suspect that! |
