great shot x
Nice photo. :-) I believe that may be a Hornworm and those eggs are actually braconid wasp eggs. The larvae are parasitic and, when they hatch, will bore into their host and use it as a food source. Nature can be quite cruel.
Staticon thank you for the information.Now i learned something again.
I posted a shot of a bee with similar eggs 12months ago and a fellow RR member pointed out that they were as Staticon says parasitic, but an incredible piece of photography Christo!
It is harsh Alan.Just the thought that that eggs is going to develop in something that is going to eat the worm.
fascinating and a stunningly crisp and clear capture, well done!
Poor Caterpillar but a great bit of natural history work Christo
EXCELLENT MACRO & DETAIL :)
Great shot but bye bye worm and hello wasps!
Amazing photo and macro.

A superb shot of this victim!
It looks to be a colourful caterpillar underneath all those eggs Christo, a superb macro my friend. Excellent work. Bravo!!!!!
