Fred,
A great macro shot of the eggs of the Red & Black shield Bugs their shape like miniature !Sea Urchins" placed neatly on the wild Fennel Seed. Artistic composition & lighting with superb camera techniques with razor sharp focus.

Nice macro of these tiny eggs Fred. You made them look huge even though they are only 1 mm. they do sort of look like sea urchins and your focus is so sharp that we can see the tiny detail of them. Nice nature shot even if they will hatch into stink bugs. Thanks for sharing it.

A good macro to show the little details on these eggs that many would never see or notice. Sharp focus, good frame and exposure Fred.

I have never seen anything like this before SG. This almost looks like a mixed media of starbursts on a flowing nutshell. Gotta love nature and from a stinkbug we get such sensory joy. Well dome

Love the colour contrast. I would say it is what we call stink beetles. They sure do pong. A great macro photo of the eggs. They look like they are all hairy. well framed and thanks for sharing something new to me. sandy

WOW! great macro job. High five on substance and content. Great visual aid if you'll write a book about bugs. Sharp focus and excellent contrast. Well captured and is very informative.
