Speedwell with Eggs?
I was photographing the wildflowers on a bank a few yards from my home and included in the images are some of the tiny speedwells which grow there. When I started processing I found one appeared to have a couple of tiny eggs on a petal. If you know how small speedwells are then you can guess just how small the eggs are. I didn't even spot them with the naked eye. I wonder if anyone has any idea what may have laid them?
UPDATE: Thanks to my Flickr friend 'rockwolf' she thinks they are likely to be Syrphidae (hoverfly) eggs
The image will enlarge slightly for more detail
