Daily Piles of Tiny "Eggs" on Hawaii Kitchen Counter: Fly Eggs? Collect for Lab ID

Off-white, salt-sized specks in a perfect dime-sized pile appeared daily on a high-rise condo kitchen counter in Hawaii. Not moving. Ceiling 5+ feet above—unlikely to fall in a circle. The expert suspected fly eggs but the daily recurrence in the exact spot is baffling.

Action: Collect some in alcohol; submit to Bishop Museum (UH) for ID. Place paper over the spot—does the pile appear on the paper? What activity occurs on that counter (food prep, meat cutting)? This will be solved with a specimen.
