Initially, I had NO idea what these tiny alien things were -distracted by the intricate flowery bits, I was even considering fungus!🙄 Once home, a bit of research reveals they're assassin bug eggs!🥚The eggs of Sinea spp have fancy corollae - making them look like tiny flowers!🌻

wheel bugs (Arilus cristatus), another type of assassin bug, lays eggs in a hexagon

🤯 Amazeballs!

Cool!

Whoa, that’s amazing 🌻🥚

This is how they get you. You are marveling at the cool eggs and BAM - they pop out and assassinate you.

Oh wow they're armed with throwing stars even before they've hatched! No wonder they're called assassin bugs.

Wow!!
