Today's Efforts - Earwig and Such
Aug 24, 2014 00:57:17 #
A rather slow macro Saturday. Saw something I've never seen before, an earwig on a flower. I thought they kept to the ground. Subsequent Googling when I got home noted some are omnivores. Managed a shot of an egg. Not sure what it's from, perhaps someone in the forum will know. I wish I had taken the MP-E today as the egg was tiny an a 100mm on tubes just didn't do it justice, a 4:1 shot was needed to show good detail.

nice shots! The egg in both shots seems to float, but that can't be. But it sure looks like it for some reason.

Most unusual and excellent pictures of the earwig. I have no idea what that egg might be.

Thanks Tom, they do make good subjects. First time in a long time I went with the spray and pray strategy. This bugger was a ball of energy. Must have took fifty shots to get the ones I posted.

Thanks Piet, the egg was lifted off the petal on the bottom. This picture shows it somewhat. Like a protective doughnut at the bottom of the egg...nice shots! The egg in both shots seems to float, but that can't be. But it sure looks like it for some reason.
