Seeds or eggs?

[LynneNY]

I was taking pictures of this dragonfly today, and didn't see the small round objects on the leaf until I cropped the pictures.  The dragonfly kept flying away a bit from me, and then landing again in exactly the same spot.  At first I thought maybe these were eggs, but now I am thinking seeds from the rush plant that is right next to it and was/is in flower for a long time?





And another interesting picture

Nice pics.  If a dragonfly is laying eggs, you'll see it dipping it's tail down repeatedly on top of a lily pad or in the water.  Sometimes my lily pads will end up with these strange designs on them & it is from dragonflies.

Thanks so much for the info, Kat!

I will look for the dipping tail from now on.

Looks like water bug eggs like I have on my lily pads.  These minuscule bugs pop around on the pads and water.  My fishies don't seem to care eat ing them.
