Hummingbird and Butterfly Gardening: Thought this was a blank egg, 1 by TexasPuddyPrint

I found two Guava Skipper eggs on my guava tree that I thought were "blanks" (unfertilized eggs) - but when I uploaded them on my computer and zoomed it...it appears there is a small hole in each of them. These were laid too recently for a caterpillar to have hatched and there are no caterpillars in sight yet. Am thinking some type of assassin bug or other predator pierced the eggs and sucked the insides out. UGH!!!

You can see a small hole off center around where 11 o'clock would be.
