Monarch Laying Eggs
Monet/impressionist style - Create 52 has a weekly theme of "Monet" this week.

A monarch that was laying eggs on a milkweed plant in my yard.
I took a cropped image that I posted last year done fairly sharp with vivid colors, so it looked a bit like stained-glass, then I softened the focus, then added a film grain filter and then Topaz simplify "impressions" brush followed by upping the fill light a bit.

Canon 80D, 100-400L mk2 @ 400,1/800 @ f/8.0, ISO-1250
Hand held just a few minutes before Noon on a sunny March1, 2022

Almost all insects lay eggs. Some Aphids, the Tsetse fly and a very few others the eggs hatch inside the mother and come out. In the case of the Tsetse fly it is one large baby at a time, and they nurse them.
