    Default Unknown Insect? Harmful?

    Greetings all,

    Anyone has any idea what this is and whether it is harmful to orchids? It looks like some egg but it was empty when i peel it off. Im not sure what is this.

    It could be the empty shell of an insect's doll. This means the stage when the caterpillar hangs in a self-made web during the final development phase and comes out as a finished insect (for example a butterfly) after some time.
