hmmm, I found a dead Luna moth and it had all these little green spheres in its remains.
Any chance theses are something interesting? They did not appear to be moving...and the next day the whole abdomen was gone.

Luna dead moth with eggs on it
I found one with a lot more eggs on it
I don't know what kind of bug has these eggs, but even though they are perfectly round the moth is still dissolving.
