Eggs - Reduviidae I&#039;m not sure whose eggs these were.

    Howdy. I wouldn't hesitate to call these the eggs of some Reduviidae, but not in tune enough with North American species to go further than that. Maybe have a look at this series of images on Bugguide - the nymph may give you some more clues(?)
