Half a year; lubber, caterpillars, eggs, and fungus

I haven't posted pictures here in a while, so here we go. First is an Eastern Lubber, maybe not quite 1:1. Then a fully grown caterpillar of the polydamus swallowtail (for more pics of the whole caterpillar check here http://cyclicalcore.deviantart.com/art/Giant-caterpillar-full-view-472648423)
Next some newly laid eggs of a zebra longwing followed by some hatched atala eggs.
Finally some weird fungus that fell on my table while eating lunch outside :-)
ISO 100, 1/200s, f/9-f/16, ETTL flash. 6x8 softbox on the flash.

Since this picture was taken, I actually had some zebra longwings lay their eggs in a plant in my backyard while I was taking pictures, I also have pictures of the hatched eggs and the tiny caterpillars that came out. I can't wait to process them :-):thumbup: Especially the eggs.

On your computer, I suggest that you start a folder entitled Zebra Longwing Life Cycle, and start saving images. I also have pictures of the hatched eggs and the tiny caterpillars that came out.
Here is one of my "Life Cycle" folders: http://www.flickr.com/Nikonian72/sets/72157627495715140

Super series! I especially find the "crazy fungus" interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Well done Brian... I favor the caterpillar, excellent detail on this shot. Good job on the lubber too. Eyes on these can be problematic, very harsh glare.
