decorated stones and butterfly eggs

The other day I was happily sitting outside enjoying the nice weather,

aka a break from the horrid, hot and humid weather we had for a week.

(the only good thing about it was that it made the ocean seem like paradise to swim in, or at least more so than usual!)

Thought I would try out the new white paint marker I got,

so now my walkway is scattered with some decorated stones!

I kind of like it, maybe I will do more...

On a separate note, I was pulling the poppies from my garden to dry and save the seed pods and I found this leaf with eggs on it.

I am hoping they are butterfly eggs and that maybe I can hatch them and raise some lovely butterflies to release back into the world!

Anyone know anything about this, or what type of eggs they might be?
