While having lunch outside with my grandson, we saw a Black Swallowtail butterfly lay eggs on the parsley plant. I thought you might like to see how pretty they are!
Wow! We learn so much more than just photography here!

Very interesting photo Sherrie. How many would you need for a decent omelet I wonder? 8-)

I was wondering, did you use extension tubes on these or just the 105mm?

Fascinating shots, y'all! Only egg shot I ever got was this one of green lacewing eggs. They were laid on the counterweight for a guy's telescope mount at the 2010 Winter Star Party in the Keys.

Sherrie, Nikonian72,tinusbum and others: SUPERB! The are all stunning examples of Nature. Each of these images certainly should be published, unless previously done, in any nature or horticulture magazine. They are also terrific examples of what the human eye doesn't see.
Technically, your photographs are equally fantastic. Simple. Subject is obvious, great lighting and composition are all present. Nikonian72 even added "action" by capturing the "Decisive Moment" as an egg is expelled.
I would suggest that these images also and discussion be weaved into a Main Discussion for more to view.
Thanks for the show. Ray

I cannot believe I have never seen anything like this in my life, and I grew up in the country! Simply beautiful and unique.
