What do Florida Ivory Millipede eggs look like?

[Schmo]

I have five Florida Ivory Millipedes which are a recent addition to my menagerie. I've had them about three weeks.
I've just found some tiny eggs in the terranium. Very small golden yellow ones. I think they might be fruit fly because everything I've read says my millipedes eggs should be brown and bigger than these. There also weren't any eggs when I changed their tank four days ago. I use shop bought substrate so there shouldn't be anything in it.
If it isn't millipede eggs will it harm them?
They seem fine and are eating well but I can't help worrying.
I've attached a pic of the eggs but my phone camera didn't pick them up very well. Will get my Nikon out for a better pic later....

While many millipede species will lay their eggs in a group in a chamber, my understanding is that all Spirobolids, including the Ivory millipede, cover their eggs in frass so they would indeed be larger and brown. I would remove the eggs to a separate container and keep them moist and see what hatches... But I wouldn't leave them in there; infestations are a pain to get rid of!

Thanks. I've taken them out. I don't want an infestation!!
I'll set them up in one of my spare mini containers. I think the eggs are too big to be fruit fly so we'll see what happens.

Keep us updated on what they turn into!! Very curious.

 

[Schmo]

Will do. Not much yet.

I think they must have been these black beetles. There were a lot flying around my house and I don't normally have beetles in my house. There were too many and all in my room to have come from elsewhere.

That looks to amorphous to be an egg of anything. Ivory millipede eggs are perfect spheres like tiny ping-pong balls about 1 mm in diameter and they are more white than yellow. They are formed inside of egg capsules formed from substrate but if the substrate is dug up a few capsules break and eggs are often seen.

These were tiny yellowish eggs and didn't show up until several days after I'd changed the substrate. Definitely eggs. Beetle turned out to be.

Actually those aren't beetle eggs, what you have in your house sounds like carpet/dermestid beetles, which eat various dried animal products, carrion, and the dead bugs in your windowsills, (or in your roach/cricket enclosures). Those don't look like any beetle eggs I've seen, and besides, beetles usually lay their eggs singularly, not in big clumps like millipedes.
