Eggmass surface and egg surface. A A thick milky white granular layer is formed on the outer surface of the eggshell, but not on the inner egg surface. B Outline-added Fig. 2A shows coating location. C Eggs inside the mass are characterized by a pressed surface (arrows) by the attachment surface with adjacent eggs. D Microspheres are also coated on the adhesive surface in the form of a homogeneous single layer. Lump of microspheres (Lu) are observed above the single layer. Each scale bar indicates 200 µm (A-C) and 50 µm D
