Today I made a collage for you.
I saw this moth of the family Arctiidae laying eggs.
It is a Muslin Moth ( Diaphora mendica) -
Grauer Fleckleibbär.
Thanks to Ivan for giving me this ID.

Than I observed the eggs for nearly 2 weeks.
At the 12th day after laying the eggs the tiny caterpillars finally slipped out of their tiny eggs.

It was an exciting moment to see that.
I placed a 1 Cent-coin next to the eggs to have a good comparison how teeny-weeny these babies are ...
I hope you like my studies and this documentation.

I used my Tamron 90 mm together with a Soligor 1:7 teleconverter. The close shots of the eggs are made together with 3 extension-tubes - handheld!!! There was no chance to use a tripod ;-(

Thanks for looking ...
Sabine

This is a precious document which you have made ready with perseverance, patience and great skill, Sabine. That Euro cent gives the correct measuring rod for the size of those little caterpillars wriggling out of the eggs.
All the pieces in this collage are perfectly recorded.

Hello Sabine,
Gratuliere zu dieser so gut gestalteten und hochinteressanten Assemblage.
Ich bin sehr beindruckt!
Unwahrscheinlich wie Du diese Eier und kleinen Raupen fotografiert hast. Der Vergleich mit der Münze ist auch sehr gelungen. Da kann ich ja nur "chapeau" sagen.
Hab herzlichen Dank- Ich wünsche Dir noch ein schönes Wochenede
Liebe Grüsse

Hello Sabine!

Just fantastic work! I think this is another post from you full on old TN's spirit. Great observation and documentation. Very educative and also looks great. Most of our posts should look like this one. Perfect!

Enhorabuena por este trabajo, casi de investigación más que una simple fotografía. No se a que te dedicas profesionalmente, pero en cualquier caso puedes dedicarte a la fotografía en exclusiva.
Un abrazo: Josep Ignasi.

great presentation, TFS Ori

Now this took some time and some fine thinking to accomplish. It is graphically a remarkable piece, as if almost done as a part of a professional job! Beyond that...it most certainly is a lesson...and more...a fine montage of thoughts, notions, notes and photos!

Hallo Sabine
Eine wirklich interresante zusammensetzung,diese collage gefällt mir sehr gut, und jedes einzelne Bild ist schön komposiert und deutlich
Die Mama gefällt mir gut, die Babies ein bisschen weniger
Dank der Münze kann man gut sehen wie winzig Klein diese Würmschen sind
Danke für diese Bologie lehrstunde

Hi Sabine,

This collage is fantastic!! A wonderful study and a job very well done. The moth, eggs and emerging caterpillars are perfect. That was a great idea using the coin to give an excellent perspective of the true sizes. Each shot is marvelous and the layout is wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Bonjour Sabine, ça c'est de la biologie instructive et c'est rare sur TN!! belle présentation , bravo, Didier.

Liebe Sabine,
sehr anschauliche Dokumentation der Entwicklung winziger Räupchen aus dem Gelege des Fleckenbärs, unglaublich detailreich, perfekt präsentiert. Muss ein spannendes Abenteuer gewesen sein, dies zu beobachten.
Mit Dank und herzlichen Grüßen,
Peter

Dear Sabine,
This is amazing. Absolutely fantastic macro captures - almost seems like microscopical shots. Very good collage and idea behind it, too - I bookmark the image as one of my favorites. Congrats for this superb photo series.
Best regards aus Ungarn, László
