weird eggs on underside of fan leaves

[cap'n yNg]

Hey all.

Found some, what look like eggs on the underside of one fan leaf?

 

 

Removed the leaf and had a good look over the plant, no strange bugs hanging around.

 

Any idea what they are, what they're from and should I be concerned?

 

Thanks in advance.

Moth of some sort, I see them on outside plants all the time.

You should kill them- egg hatches to larva/grubs (caterpillar, what ever) they munch the shit outta your plants until they grow to their next stage, cocoon to moth (or similar).

 

If they liked your plant enough to lay eggs, they will probably like the taste of the buds too.

 

not sure on best defence tho.

Thanks me lady! There has been a lot of moths about recently.

And there are a couple of slightly eaten lower leaves so I may have missed some early on.

Be keeping a closer eye now on
