What kind of eggs are these? They’re on a blackberry I found in my salad at the dining hall.

Here is a quick breakdown of what they are and what you should do:

 

### Identification

* **Appearance:** These eggs are off-white or cream-colored, barrel-shaped (cylindrical), and laid in a very neat, geometric cluster.

* **Context:** Stink bugs often lay their eggs on fruits or the underside of leaves. Finding them on a blackberry (which you found in your salad) is common in fresh produce that hasn’t been heavily treated with pesticides.

 

### Is it dangerous?

* **Accidental Consumption:** If you accidentally ate some, don’t worry. They are not toxic to humans and do not carry diseases. They are just unappetizing.

* **Taste:** While adult stink bugs can leave a bitter taste or a “stinky” smell on fruit, the eggs themselves usually don’t affect the flavor of the rest of your salad.
