Caterpillar & Egg

9 years 8 months ago #397120 by Screamin Scott
I've been checking a small caterpillar on my American Plum leaves & today, I found a surprise on a partially eaten leaf... A newly deposited
egg (same species as the caterpillar-Red-spotted Purple (Limenitis
arthemis))... I suspect the caterpillar is going to pupate soon. It was
difficult trying to get both in the same plane of focus.

Macro photography never ceases to amaze me! The egg is extremely interesting and would love to see a closeup of it by itself.

Great job!!
