I found these tiny pearlescent eggs tucked away in a small niche under a rotting log. I think they are slug eggs, of what species I have no idea as I have several in my garden. I was and still am so a taken at how fragile-looking they are, how beautiful they are in the light, and yet they are well protected and suited to bring forth new life.

They do look like slug eggs, Pete. I grew up with lots of slugs … big ones, 6 – 8 inches long, some of them. Fascinating to watch them move through their world. I’ve watched a raccoon pick slugs up, roll them back and forth on the ground, dip them in a stream, then eat them. Not my dish of choice. š

Thank you for your confirmation Sally. What a clever racoon š With the rains here again the garden is alive with them, but no, not for my appetite either š
