PrintWTF Is on this Swiss Chard?
Yesterday, Renzata posted this Talk topic, "WTF is on my swiss chard?" with the above accompanying images. "No freakin' clue," was my first answer. Luckily, Serious Eats readers were more helpful and pointed out they were beetle eggs. Or UFOs.

Holy cow I made the front page! It's a relief to think I may not be the only one totally divorced from nature.

Every time I see that picture it makes me want to die.

If I had to guess, the ones on the left are Harlequin Bug eggs. They are pretty but nasty beetles that will destroy your garden. No idea about the ones on the right, though...
Pick the eggs off and toss them into some kerosene, or light them on fire, mush them on pavement, etc. Use your imagination!

Or you could cook and eat them. Mmmm, protein.

Everytime I see this picture I start to get itchy. Make it stop.

Hmmm...I don't know. I'm down with caviar;
but you'd have to pay me a lot to taste those beetle eggs.
p.s. I'm itchy now too!
