After heavy rain, yellowish-green, concave eggs (hair-width to 0.5 cm) appear on soil surface, along with tiny red spiders. Expert Rick cannot identify without seeing the spider. Eggs appear egg-like; spiders/mites have 8 legs and 2 body parts. Action plan:

  • Do nothing until positive ID.
  • Collect eggs and spiders in sealed container.
  • Take to local garden center (not chain store), county extension, or knowledgeable local authority.
  • Email photos of the spider for further help.

Could be harmless, beneficial, or pests—correct ID dictates action.
