Weird stuff on the daddy's window. Identify?
Last night the wife alerts me to this foreign growth(s) on one of our window frames. They were hard like a shell and when we wiped them off a few cracked open and had a yellow/cream colored liquid inside. They are about 1mm in diameter each. I assume they are some type of insect egg, but what? Maybe alien pods?

I'm pretty sure one of them spoke to me but I was half asleep so I can't be sure of the dialect. It was mostly incoherent mumbling but I would almost swear it said "all your window frame are belong to us".

An even more important question, were they on the inside or the outside?

They were on the inside. They illegally crossed the border and I'm none too happy about it. I am currently in negotiations with the wife and kids as to amending our charter to discourage such incursions. But then this morning one of the little bastards made a hell of a Western omelet and toast for me and now I'm not so sure we can't work something out.

Stink bug or moth eggs is my guess.

Hold on a minute, these are honest, hard working body snatcher pods and are just trying to better themselves. Who are you to deny them that opportunity?
You should just let them stay and multiply until they take over the entire car. You can afford another Porsche

I'd be a little freaked-out.
Whatever laid that can't be too small. |

They are actually very small, maybe even less than 1mm...probably more like .5mm. I'm think moth eggs are a likely guess.

Not to worry, these are like snake skins but the bits left over when the critter that is now living in your attic left behind while shedding. Let the wife go up there and deal with it!
