Nice!

Just stumbled on this photo... Can you give an approximate size estimate?

… Charley Eiseman, 7 December, 2013 - 12:34pm

Sure, I can try

The Symphylans I encounter in that area are generally about 6 mm long. So perhaps the eggs are .75 mm wide? Pure estimate!

Do we know if those eggs belong to this creature

or do they just happen to be in the same place at the same time?

Yes

I'm certain that they are the symphylan's. It hovered around them, guarding them for the 20 minutes I was there. And yeah, pretty interesting eggs!

Great shot

the eggs remind me of tiny brown widow eggs.

I never thought I'd see eggs of this creature. Thanks for posting.
