Unidentified Egg I found a bunch of these eggs in some very rotten wood. The eggs were about 5 mm long and were hard - in fact, I wondered if they might be seeds at first. I took a couple home and cracked one open under my digital scope to examine the larva. It was off-white, squishy (ha!), and had little, pinching mouthparts (see video).<br /> <br /> Habitat: Deciduous forest<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/88846/unidentified_egg.html" title="Unidentified Egg"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3232/88846_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=zcREqrsUkkHwlILXSLDeuNST2dM%3D" width="200" height="152" alt="Unidentified Egg I found a bunch of these eggs in some very rotten wood.
