| | | mounds of tiny cream eggs found on grass
Hi, For the last few weeks Ive been finding scattered mounds of what seems like tiny creamy coloured eggs on my back lawn, at first i thought it was a cat that must have been throwing up in the night cos thats what it looked like from a distance but looking closer they are very very tiny little eggs but loads of them in each mound , some mornings there are 3 to 5 seperate mounds and i only have a small garden , ive tried looking to see if there was any pictures on the net but cant seem to find anything ive never seen or had this before in the 5 years ive been here, does anybody have an idea what this might be? any help would be much apprecieated, thankyou. |
