Wow!! Never seen this kind of eggs!!!
Kang you always find the most amazing spottings!
Thanks, @staccyh :), some of the Eggs of Phasmids are lovely with intricate details which you can't see with the naked eyes. Magnifying glasses helps or close-up photography :D
Wow that's awesome! Great series, love the eggs!
Thanks, @Mark & @Leuba and yes, the Eggs of Phasmids are amazing.
They can look like tiny jewelries and like in this case, a tasty chocolate :D
