Mysterious eggs 4 days from now, I saw these eggs in my mom&#039;s kitchen garden and I searched for the species. Learnt from few entemology friends they belong to bugs of sub-family Pentatomidae which has 900+ genus and 4700+ species so I stopped my search then and there and decided to wait for them to hatch.<br /> <br /> When these mysterious eggs hatched <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/95138/when_mysterious_eggs_hatched.html" title="When mysterious eggs hatched"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/1843/95138_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1689206410&Signature=FxbH%2F54C32bDOBFQgIFmO2VB1J8%3D" width="200" height="134" alt="When mysterious eggs hatched Yesterday morning when I was watering those plants I checked that leaf on which eggs were laid and I saw these tiny bugs and I was so excited to record them.
