Weekly Puzzler #270: Tiny Green Spheres on Short Threads

Happy Weekend, Friends! 

I think it’s time to bring back the puzzler, starting today. Here’s a few photos I took recently on Milkweed, at my friend Kim’s farm. Check them out! 

Recognize these?

These are very tiny, which is why they are so hard to photograph. Sometimes you’ll find just one or two on a leaf, and then other times, like in the top photo, there’ll be a bunch together. The spheres are on a long, thin stalk, always at the very end. Do you have a guess about what these are or how they got there? If so, I would love to hear from you! Use the comment box below the post to give your guess.

See you again soon!

      Hey Sara, I know this was a super hard puzzler– they are lacewing eggs! Thanks for reading and taking time to guess. I hope you have a lovely Sunday.

      Yes, it is a hard one. Most people have never seen this, making it even harder. They are lacewing eggs.

        Thank you Sara. I enjoy them too because I tend to learn a lot more than if I had no one to share all of this stuff with. Thanks for following along!
