JDog Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 They look like ticks full of blood to me. I do know that they cannot be those though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptC Posted May 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Certainly not ticks but about the same size (in egg form) Nearest vegetation is a honeysuckle to the right and lavender below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 The power of google, I put it an environment group I'm in on Facebook and someone else said moth, so googled moth eggs, they are certainly strange looking, apparently they like to eat woody stuff.

They would need diamond teeth where they are now on the glass - the windows have leaded panes as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
