I was under the house today when this caught my eye.
It is perched upside down on the joists that support the floor above, it is a weird looking thing, anyone know what it is?

Think it's spider eggs, find it around the house and once on the sunblind in the car!

I remember seeing the same thing long time ago except the shell's black in colour. It might be the egg of grassphopper....just guessing though.
Any zoologist expert here that can shed some ideas?

Dunno but we've got them too?

We have a ozzie biologist friend and he hasn't a clue so it must be weird whatever it is!! :scared:

Summer's coming so I guess we'll find out soon.

PS: Had our first Huntsman in the house yesterday... so it begins! :eek:

Oh, that's alright then... the Baygon spray will probably take care of it (eventually!)

Added to the title to see if it draws any more interest!

Whatever it is looks like they have scratched the surface of the wood as well if look closely. There is a scratch heading off from each egg.

Run.......... :scared: :scared: :scared:

I've just showed your photo to a local and he reckons its Huntsman eggs (think I'd prefer the Alien more :scared: ).

Not sure if this just ain't a crock but it's got to be reasonably big whatever it is that laid them eggs.

First one to see them hatch yell :eek:

Whatever they are they are no longer as I took to them with a scraper this afternoon, they won't be bothering me or my kids in a hurry. :D

I squished a redback today too, it was climbing under the window so I got a bit of twig that was laying around and give it the good news, RIP.

Cpl months ago, Debs was hanging out the washin, and a spider crawled off the line onto a pure white t-shirt. Laying an Illuminous Green/yellow egg.

Was pretty scarey lol ewwww
