Black and White Balls on Leaf
Hi, I have a honeysuckle plant in my backyard and it's growing really well and I just noticed on one of the leaves there are these super tiny black and white ball things. I have no idea what they are, maybe eggs? Should I remove the leaf? 
Thanks!

i wouldn't remove, I'd be watching most carefully. Very interesting
In the sticks near Peterborough
I think they are shield bug eggs. They don't cause much of a problem and many species in the uk are in decline.

They aren't in decline in my garden - I have tons of them!
