Stinkbug eggs (Pentatomid sp.)

Found these while walking along a trail today. It wasn't until I got home and saw them blown up on the monitor that I realized they were stinkbug eggs. Have not seen green ones before, but then these look very freshly laid and will probably change colour as they age.

I couldn't help thinking of Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham!

An amazing shot, they could be mistaken for tennis balls or a bunch of grapes while they stay green! v

they look a bit like grapes, yet are apparently less savoury...tuned right in to nature though,,,
