Stinkbug eggs (Pentatomidae)

This is part of a small egg mass of stinkbug eggs that are clustered on a twig. The entire mass measures perhaps 2mm across. This shot is taken using a camera attached to a microscope. I think the eggs are very jewel-like!

They looks like little honey pots! The forms and textures apparent only at micro-scale are amazing.
