Hawaii Posts: 56 | I have always wondered if there is a list of the colors of insect eggs or insect egg sacks by order? As tiers, we often try to imitate the female egg layer in our flies. However, I have seen different colors used. For example, I have seen both yellow and green used for egg sacks on caddis patterns. This summer, during a Salmonfly "storm", I found orange eggs on the females. Although, most others say such eggs (or egg sacks) on Salmonflies are black? Good, scientific info would be welcomed! Thanks, in advance. | |

Site Editor Plano, TXPosts: 1314 | Hi Byron- Don't recall ever having encountered a list of ova color by insect order, or by anything else for that matter. However, it would seem to be useful information to have. | |
