Hello!
I had taken this photo on the 1st of August in my garden. This small larva was in motionless position under the tiny blossoms of fennel. Its length was merely 4-5 mm. Never seen it before, what is it? Thank you in advance!

I believed that it is an odd shaped caterpillar!

I second Rui Andrade's suggestion.

not larva, but eggs. Hemiptera.
Paul and Rui are right.

Yes, and the picture shows the eggs of Eurydema sp.
Looking in the same plant for adults, you can determinate to species level.

Hello Isidro!
As far as I know, genus Eurydema belongs to the Suborder Heteroptera, not Hemiptera!

Order Hemiptera and suborder Heteroptera

Heteropterans are hemipterans as nematocera are diptera ;-)
In many books, etc. Heteroptera and Homoptera are two orders. In other books are sub-orders of the same order, hemiptera. The last thing is that order Hemiptera is divided in various sub-orders but not Heteroptera and Homoptera. My way of thee the hemipteran division is:
ORDER HEMIPTERA
Suborder HETEROPTERA - true bugs
Suborder AUCHENORHYNCHA - cicadas et al.
Suborder STENORHYNCHA - aphids et al.

wrong spelling in the last two suborders.
I use this scheme:
Auchenorrhyncha
Coleorrhyncha - there are no coleorrhynchid hemipterans here in Europe.
Heteroptera
Sternorrhyncha
Heteroptera - wings not homogeneous (one part membranous and the other part hardened)
Homoptera (ancient use...)-->(Sternorrhyncha and Auchenorrhyncha) - anterior wings are homogeneous - they are usually hardened.
