Yeah, they are iridescent and very pretty...but still a dratted bug! UGH!!! I've raised more bug eggs than I'll ever admit to :o) but alas, sometimes you just never know what they are.

By the way, Variegated Frit eggs look like Gulf Frit eggs but are more whitish in color.

I have a lousy photo of an egg...sorry but the larval host VF uses out here is Green Violet which is a very small grass like plant. I'd been out in the field and it had been hot and I was tired...when I saw one laying an egg and went to investigate but didn't have the energy to get a good photo. Wasn't about to lie down in a field of overgrown grass and stick burrs :o)

Have since transplanted some into a large pot and the plants are doing extremely well...just waiting for the VF to come find it and lay eggs on them!!!
