SPIDERS’ EGGS FORM PATTERN LIKE MOSAIC OF PEBBLES

Like a rough mosaic of pebbles is the array of spider’s eggs photographed by Cornelia Clarke and reproduced on the cover of this week’s Science News Letter. Although smaller than small pinheads, the enlarging lens brought the eggs up to such apparent size that they were guessed to be puffballs, moldy grapes, and a number of other objects of similar size by persons to whom the photograph was first shown.
