Stinkbug eggs with a red velvet mite

These spiky little stinkbug eggs probably belong to one of the predatory stinkbugs, the ones who eat other insects (and whom gardeners like because they consume lots of insect "pests"). The velvet mite is on the prowl... Photographed in Larose Forest.

Love the color and geometry of the eggs and the little bug doesn't seem to be impeded by them at all. You manage to capture a whole world the rest of us never see. V.

Even I would have to admit this is a lovely image, insects and all ;-). Your framing adds to the interest as well. V.

So cool! I've only seen stinkbug eggs once, and got a shot of them hatching, but this is so neat with the mite too.
