Tiny Easter Eggs - a photo on Flickriver

Tiny Easter Eggs

            A couple of days ago I was out on my first early morning shooting session of 2011. It's still cold here in Sweden, at least during the nights (the ground was frost covered) but without a doubt winter has been defeated once again.

These are insect eggs, each approximately 1mm long. I've not yet been able to establish an ID for these but I hope to find someone who can give me an idea what they are. It seems these are likely to be the eggs of an aphid , Cinara sp. I'll see if I can get this confirmed.

Whoever she is, the mother of these eggs has neatly laid them near the tip of a pine needle.

Shot at approximately 5x magnification in the field using a bellows mounted Zeiss Luminar 63mm f4.5. Focus stacked from 15 exposures in Zerene Stacker (PMAX). Natural light + diffused flash.
