Ich entdeckte diese sehr störend aussehende Linie von Skalen (skalierende Insekten?) Auf einer kleinen Maisanlage, die ich in einem Fenster habe. Weiß jemand, was diese Dinge sind und wenn ich die ganze Pflanze wegwerfen sollte oder kann ich dieses Blatt einfach abschneiden?
Ärgerlicherweise lebte diese Pflanze neben einer Monstera, die gegen Thrips gekämpft hat, aber das sieht sowohl von diesen Insekten als auch von den Eiern unterscheidet.

katydid egg
Yes but with their ability to queue so nicely it feels impolite to remove them
Looks like katydid eggs.
Someone planned it
Those appear to be some type of Katydid eggs.
I don’t know what it is, but I’ll echo everyone and say these are very polite katydid eggs. Keep them, for science.
Edit – I’m joking about the last part btw. You don’t want locusts to decimate your collection
Lucky duck!
Katydid what?
Isn’t Nature amazing?!? I saw this once while working in landscape maintenance. Investigated and yes! Katydid eggs! Neatly hidden on the underside of a leaf, lined up like sequins!
How would this happen inside ?
wow, this made my skin absolutely crawl.
a very organized invasion.
It’s such a shame that it’s a pest.
Because, wow, it created its own art! Magnificent, really! And fascinating!
Don’t call it a comeback
Thank you all! As disturbing/fascinating as those eggs are, I cut off that leaf and put it outside – the katydids can hatch and live out their lives outdoors. I’m just relieved it’s not scale insects.
I have no idea how a katydid could have gotten inside (or where it went 😬) – we live in an apartment in an urban area, so I assume it hitched a ride indoors on something. Hopefully, it found its way back outside.
A trypophobia I was unaware of until this post. *My stomach hurts.*
I always loooooove these
These are most definitely Katie’s eggs! Down to the color and line of eggs and color! Usually, mom would be near the eggs, so she may be dead somewhere…. pretty neat, but yeah, where did she come from, Wild!
Freaking out way over here. 😳
Well now that I know these are katydids I feel much less repulsed. Cuz that made my arms ache.
IM ITCHING FROM THIS EW YUCK!

it wants to turn into a watermelon, so sweet 😭
I would’ve drowned that plant in bleach and then thrown it in the trash
Hi! The thrips are bested by a layer of stones or gravel or something and a couple of sticky traps until they are gone. Leave the layer on top of the soil though or they come back
I had to look up what a katydid was since I hear of them but don’t actually know what they are.
Anyway one of those fuckers was in my parters car, right where the window cracks. So right when I turn my head while driving for five minutes i see it and freak tf out. And ofc it took the window ride down instead of blowing out the window so I had to push it
My trynaphobia is very unsure about this picture.
Those are cool as fuck.
Look at those fucking welds mate
Had these same katydid eggs on a rose plant. 19th floor apartment. Noticed a leaf (they have leaf camouflage) moving around on my wall near the plant a little bit later. I moved them outside too.
Be careful, the momma may bite if you mess with her eggs.
I LOVE to hear thine earnest voice,
Wherever thou art hid,
Thou testy little dogmatist,
Thou pretty Katydid!
Thou mindest me of gentlefolks, –
Old gentlefolks are they, –
Thou say’st an undisputed thing
In such a solemn way.
Thou art a female, Katydid!
I know it by the trill
That quivers through thy piercing notes,
So petulant and shrill.
I think there is a knot of you
Beneath the hollow tree, –
A knot of spinster Katydids, –
Do Katydids drink tea?
O, tell me where did Katy live,
And what did Katy do?
And was she very fair and young,
And yet so wicked, too?
Did Katy love a naughty man,
Or kiss more cheeks than one?
I warrant Katy did no more
Than many a Kate has done.
