Steph's Alien Spinach Eggs

Stephalump eats a lot of really healthy food and not much else. This includes wacky things like raw spinach which, is quite good for you. Or so I'm told. The other day she was chewing away on some of said raw spinach when she came across these little egg things that were obviously laid by aliens. Here are the egg things. Those indentations would match the shape of Steph's lower teeth if you were so inclined. I'm not sure how she knew they were there. Maybe she saw them as she took a bite, maybe there was an extra squish of juiciness, who knows?
The wonderful thing about having access to a lab at work is that you can use the microscopes to get cool close ups of all kinds of things such as slivers, small cuts, hair follicles, alien eggs, etc. So here are some close ups of the things. One of them would make a cool desktop picture (feel free). The last one is mushy looking as I popped some of the eggers with a pick. These are obviously stills, but you can imagine seeing the little alien babies squirming about in there. Alright, I made that part up. But still...
