The boys and I had a mini cleaning-blitz this morning, getting ready to have company this weekend. As I checked the back bathroom I noticed Tate's jar of dirt.
Weeks ago he announced that he'd found some eggs in the dirt outside and wanted to see if they would hatch. Being a mom of boys, I save a few random jars for moments like this, and off he went.
The eggs look like this...
...sort of clear, round, and gelatinous.
The boys checked them daily at first, and then we all kind of gave up on them, and I banished the jar to the back bathroom.
Well, they've hatched.
Any guesses?

YOU'RE SUCH A TEASE!!!
Dinosaurs?
I'll give you a clue... it's a quintessential PNW creature.
Nothing good is going to come out of there. I'm going with stink bugs.
...which leaves me clueLESS ;-)
But I am thoroughly prepared to say Eeeeewwwww!
I know what they are, but I totally cheated and went to the Google. I can't stand mysteries, lol! I have to say, we have plenty of them in the Great Lakes region, too!
Snails?
SPIDERS!!!!
Oh, I am not up on your wild life!
Alligators perhaps LOL!
You will let us know. They look interesting.
Cruelty! :-)
Julie - Was I right? Because I posted an answer but it isn't here :-)

I'm stumped... but extremely curious! They don't look moist enough to be frog eggs, and I don't know any other clearish jellyish eggs.
I must say, though, as a Mom of little boys, you've got me a slightly nervous! An egg jar, hatching in the back bathroom... Is it something gross? Did they get OUT?? I think I might be a bit squeamish to be the mother of boys, lol!
Hmmm... google is no help this time: they're giving me everything from fruit flies, to anphibian ID to how to make chicken stock. I give, what are they?
What was it? My friends found this and are wondering.
Slugs.
Ewwwww.
