Drywood termite frass. Very distinctive pellets. They look like miniature,
old-time, deflated footballs, the color of the wood on which they are feeding.
They are NOT eggs. Probably not an active infestation.

Hi Pest list,
I’m hoping that someone might be able to help ID these eggs, please?
I’ve come across this cluster of eggs on the back of a bark painting from Papua
New Guinea. Some of them were loose but some of them look like they are
embedded within a resin which I figure (and hope) means they could be very old.
I tried to get some close up photos under a Dinolite but there are some taken
on a phone also that show what they look like to the naked eye.
Just wondering if anyone has seen any eggs like this before?
Many thanks,
Jess
