bug eggs

Cocopops seeks the wisdom of the hive mind and has sent in this picture with the following query:

Wondering if any rioters know what eggs these are?

I’ve found them on clothes, in my peg basket in the bathtoom etc.

Tried google but no luck.

Katy’s worn out Ben Wa balls.

They’re green for a reason.

Send them to the Australian Museum in Sydney, they have identified insects for me in the past and are very helpful

Most of these comments are not very helpful.

Some of you should turn over a new leaf.

So what sort of tree is it?

A ham?

(Bad I know but I just couldn’t help it.)

Er…green?

This is how Swiss balls begin before they grow to maturity and are posted to gyms or sold at Rebel Sport 🙂

OK Here we go! This is my VERY FIRST comment on RiotACT!!!!

So, let’s make it a good one then… I must make the most of this important opportunity:

I believe these eggs are little caviars. But it’s strange. There’s just two of them, and they’re not red or black like the ones in tins. I think they’re laid by great big fish, called sturgeons. But I’m not an expert. But I am wondering how a sturgeon got up on your tree like that. Might have happened in the recent rain.

Hooray! I’ve done it. I’ve made my first comment !!! WHOOO-HOOOOO !!!! I’m so happy!

Sighs. Lights cigar. Drinks single malt. ‘Ah my dear, you’d be amazed at how soon one becomes accustomed to the feeling…’

If you get a good magnifying glass, you will see a hilarious slogan such as “have a bouncing good Christmas” on each one. This is how they grow the novelty gift balls. Should be ready by next Christmas.

😀 Good one!

It has already hatched and the larva is definitely male.

Looks alot like butterfly eggs ….. occasionally they will be laid by passing flutterers when you have clothes hanging outside on a line. Having said that though, lots of bugs lay bright green eggs.

And apparently Stink Bugs lay bright green eggs as well.
Not an expert though – so don’t quote me on it if you end up with some face-hugger style alien in your home!
