Thyreocoridae egg, micropylar processes perhaps - Corimelaena
Sand Hill Prairie, Polk County, Iowa, USA
July 29, 2011
Size: .75 mm
There is a ring of tiny projections around one end of the egg, 6 for sure and maybe 7. But, there are similar projections scattered on the egg as well. Once out of alcohol the egg dried fast.
