Moth Village 2

See alternate view of these moth eggs: http://365project.org/darylo/album3/2013-12-18

And if you want to see my favorite all-time moth macro shot, go here: http://365project.org/darylo/365/2013-06-22
It looks as if they had a keen sense of design and order. Amazing.

Very very cool find,Daryl!I see little holes in them,which means something emerged.Monarch butterflies eat their own egg shells as their first meal.Dont know what thee may be.But if you see little monarch eggs it usually means a teeny tiny wasp parasite hatched out.Now I need to research these.Sorry for my nerdy ramblings!Lol! Fav!

@mzzhope No, please nerd away. Have you seen my moth macro I got ages ago? Let me go look for it. It's one of my all-time fav shots.

@mzzhope Here it is! http://365project.org/darylo/365/2013-06-22

I thought the eggs in this photo today looked "vacated" and they are so far apart (but seriously teeny)

Like bb's. Cool!
December 18th, 2013  
Very cool. Have never seen this.

@darylo Oooooooooooooooooooooooo HOW did I miss that!Now it is one of MY all time favs,too!Holy cow that is awesome!

@catwoman2 Thanks. Check out this one I did awhile back--the design is incredible (especially when you can see them in development) : http://365project.org/darylo/365/2013-06-22

@amandal I was really hoping if I flipped it enough it would look like a stocking so I could use it for my get-pushed (holidays from a unique pov). Alas, it's just a bunch of bb's ! :)
December 18th, 2013  
Wow this is great!! A Fav :))

@danette Thanks for dropping by Danette. I'm sorry I'm a lousy commenter these days! I'm heading off the computer right now even, but wanted to say howdy!

@merleann Oh, thanks Merle Ann!

Hiding my reply here. Yes, he is headed your way on the 26th. He is going to the botanical gardens on the 27th to propose to his GF. :-) A friend of mine is supposed to have a "photographer" for him to capture the moment. Hoping she follows through!
December 18th, 2013  
No no, I see it. Totally bb's forming a stocking. COOL!
December 18th, 2013  
@danette oh botanical gardens is perfect location! I have a membership and will be there the 23rd for the lights display. Let me know if he needs backup!!!
December 19th, 2013  
Interesting macro capture!
December 19th, 2013  
How odd! Very neat capture!
December 19th, 2013  
@darylo Thanks! I will let you know for sure if I don't hear back soon.
December 19th, 2013  
Excellent!
December 19th, 2013  
Interesting nature shot, and I think this is the best of the two since it is a bit sharper.
December 19th, 2013  
So, Daryl, my friend isn't sure they can get someone to the gardens to take a few shots on the 27th. Are you able to do that? He wasn't looking to actually hire a photographer. We had hoped to just get someone to take a few shots of the event. He plans to ask her between 7:30-8:00. If you are able, or know someone who wants to do this. He was willing to pay for the entrance fee. Not sure if that is included in your membership. I know this is much to ask!! No pressure, I promise.
December 19th, 2013  
@danette The entrance fee is not included, but I can get a discount being a member. It's about 15 or so dollars I think. I'm going the 23rd and if you can tell me exactly where in the gardens he plans to do it, I could try to work on a shot there the 23rd to get settings right. I'm going to give you my "junk" email here: thepickledgarlic@gmail.com. Once you email me, though, send a note on one of these threads and let me know you did it. I'll look for it and then I can send you my real contact info. I've got to check my calendar and make sure I could do it, but I would love to help out any way I can if I'm free. I live about 45 minutes away, but it'd be worth it if it works out! So send me an email with contact info and then let me know you sent it. I'll check my inbox with that email and follow up. :)
December 19th, 2013  
Just sent!
December 19th, 2013  
@danette just sent reply!
December 19th, 2013
