A single stinkbug egg

This is a photo, through a microscope, of a single stinkbug egg, just a fraction of a mm in size. It looks as if it has tiny glass beads embedded in it! This is not the same type of eggs as those in the next shot. I think this egg was laid by the Large Green Stinkbug. It was one of a cluster that came apart when I was trying to position them for a photo.

Canon PowerShot A95
1/4s f/4.5 at 19.2mm iso50 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

It looks like beautiful bead work as you say. And amazing detail for something this minute. V.
