Vapourer moth eggs (𝘖𝘳𝘨𝘺𝘪𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘢), also known as rusty tussock moths, have strange little eggs.
Also did you know the males fly during the day, and the females are wingless?
Plenty to see in winter if you only look 🩷❄️

Four books I highly recommend:
Feral - George Monbiot
Bringing back the Beaver - Derek Gow
Entangled Life - Merlin Sheldrake
Extraordinary Insects - Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson
