Eggs of an assassin bug (Zelus sp.)

Found on the underside of a Tartarian honeysuckle leaf in Nortel woods. This egg mass is minuscule, 1 mm perhaps? I love the way it looks like a bowl of jelly filled with little tubes!

This looks like something that would come packaged in a Laura Secord box! This is a great find!
