Somebody's eggs
A better view of the fly on the eggs
Next morning, still there
The plot thickens
Egg watch, third morning
Yup, it's a wasp
The eggs, day four
It's pretty clearly a wasp
Day 5: something new
Eggs, day 7
Egg watch day 8: an experiment
Egg watch, day 9: subtle changes
Egg watch, day 10: Hatchery?
Egg watch, day 13: more subtle changes
Egg watch day 15: raided!
Egg watch, day 16: that's that!

Rack 'em


Somebody else's eggs -- but if you look closely you see they are being visited -- raided? -- by a small fly. I wonder if it is preparing some parasitic surprise for the little buglets that will hatch. The eggs were on a rhubarb leaf; the cluster was a quarter-inch high. And I cheated and used flash -- it was getting dark.
