User's notes

This looked like swatch of fur stuck on a leaf, on pull it back it had a number what look like greenish insect eggs embedded in it. I have no idea what it could be. I have taken them into captivity to see if I can grow them on

I have not encountered Anthela species females covering eggs with body hair.
