Here I'll include some macro shots for the #monomad challenge.
These are not grains or agate; nor are they dinosaur eggs; these are just coreid bug eggs attached to a leaf. You don't need permission from the mother to take photos; even if you want to steal the eggs, the mother won't know because she seems to be taking an evening walk somewhere. The mother was too careless to leave her eggs, while danger could lurk anytime. I had to protect the eggs from thieves while I awaited the mother's return. Damn it! What a hassle!
