Little pigeon eggs. The pair on the left are from a homing pigeon, and the smaller ones are from a Persian High Flyer.

Egg Day
Wednesday is the day to buy fresh eggs at the feed store.
Baby Beetles
Little harlequin beetles clustered around the eggs they emerged from. As a gardener, I really shouldn’t encourage this sort of thing, but I can’t help but be fascinated by these little bugs and their bulls-eye eggs: http://365project.org/skelly10/365/2013-04-29
Harlequin
Last month I posted a photo of a harlequin beetle in my garden. Since then, several of those beetles have moved in, so I let them have a broccoli rabe plant in order to keep them out of the rest of the garden. A few days ago I noticed eggs on the plant… quite a bunch actually. I suppose I’ll have to destroy these since I don’t want the garden overrun by stink beetles, but they are so very interesting looking. They’re also quite tiny; I’ve placed them on a US penny here for size reference.
