Tri - Coloured Tiger Moth Eggs

Rhodogastria Amasis

Description:

These moth eggs found close to our kitchen door are a great representation of the development of the eggs over time. it appears as though the bottom eggs were laid first as the moth slowly made its way up the wall. This is shown in the change in colour of the eggs over their entirety. We were able to extract one intact and put it under our Photo Microscope for a little extra detail. Still not sure if they are moth eggs unless offspring can eat fibres and cloth in the kitchen.

Habitat:

Found close to ground level on our wooden kitchen cupboard.
