These are Lilioceris lilii eggs that I found while exploring the forest near my house, later these eggs will hatch and turn into very beautiful adult beetles with the charm of bright red colors all over their bodies, and honestly the discovery of Lilioceris lilii eggs is very special for me because this is the first time I found them since I became a nature observer, and I found the eggs accidentally when I was observing one of the wild climbing plants, and in one part of the wild plant I noticed something that looked prominent but was still unfamiliar to me, then I took a few moments to observe what I had just found.

the reason that made me conclude that the object was a Lilioceris lilii egg was because at the base of the plant there was an adult Lilioceris lilii hiding and I guessed it was the mother who hatched the egg, the reason she was at the very bottom of the wild plant was trying to hide because of my arrival around them, maybe the mother Lilioceris lilii felt threatened by my presence and she decided to hide, after a while I made observations and the most interesting thing about these eggs was that they moved several times as if these eggs had life and were different from other species' eggs that stayed still.
