Hiya to all,
Whilst poking around in the bushes as one does I came across these little beauties, they're on the underside of a Eucalyptus leaf, it was quite funny trying to get these shots flat on my back, Crutch in one hand Camera in tother & my neighbours looking out their windows thinking silly old B****r now wos he doin, I'm sure the men in white coats will arrive soon.
I don't think my attempts do the colour of these egg justice 'cause they're vivid almost fluorescent green, mmmm a bit like one of those brightly coloured over markers.
Time for a cuppa me thinks,
Cheers for now
Mark

Great shots- great find :)
Now you will have to camp out for the next 2 weeks to see them hatch :)

Very well spotted, I have no idea what sort of eggs they are. Sunny side up anyone ;) As Brian said, you now have to wait and see what they are :P

LOL I can imagine your neighbours - probably what mine think of me most of the time ;)

I've no idea what these eggs are either, but I look forward to your finding out for us ;):D

Totally impressed with the photograph, but no one has said it directly yet, so I will. Be sure to get a PHOTO of what pops out! And, for your sake, I hope it doesn't bite or sting! I too will anxiously wait and see. Don't suppose there's an entomologist in the house?
