 eggs of various destructive beetles. As the photo 

 shows, their nest is built behind loose bark of tree 

 trunks. I only found them near the Heronry in

 an intermixture of a little moss and a number of 

 spiders cocoons are placed. The eggs number 

 from five to eight and can be found from May 

 31st, and are creamy-white, speckled or spotted 

 with hazel or reddish brown, often in form of 

 wreaths.
