|
|
I have these pea-sized pinkish orange eggs in my flower bed. I don't think these are good. Its some kind of insect and there is about 30-40 of them in a pile. Could it be Scorpions?
If so how do I get rid of them? |

| I don't know what they are, but with that small amt. I would just use a trowel, to pick them up and discard. |

| Those might be the eggs of a gecko or other lizard. I found some in my garden last year and it turned out that's what they were. I'm glad I didn't destroy them as now I have a healthy population that keeps my bug problems at bay completely naturally! See if you can find someone to look them over and tell you. If they have a leathery outer shell that may well be what you have there. Hope this helps. |

| I'm just curious as to whether you kept the eggs or not. I'm interested to find out what they are. If you're nervous about it, put them in a secured "cage" (fix one out of window screen and wood) and watch them hatch. Sounds exciting to me. Let us know! |

| I have the same in the garden, But I think they maybe a fungus. Mine are almost a coral color but after a few sprinkles of cornmeal they turn brown and go away. |
