Very interesting, is this a merged photo or is this one capture? I like the colors and the trio of Caterpillars.

those are the real colours too .. i didnt change them in photoshop ... and the fly was hiding, sort'v inside a leaf .. difficult to photograph because i wasnt really high enough to get a good angle ..
after robert Bear_Music's info i'm wondering how long the fly carries the eggs around like that .. fascinating stuff .. !!..;)

Comment by Bear_Music:
Some types of flies do carry their eggs until they hatch, yes. And some types of fly eggs are orange. In fact, there's a fishing fly pattern that emulates a fly carrying orange eggs, I forget the name of it now. Furthermore, some flies actually carry the eggs INSIDE their bodies until the hatch into maggots, then expel the maggots directly instead of laying the eggs. So there's a lot of approaches in the insect kingdom...

Haven't a clue.. probably fly eggs. Interesting colors and detail. I'm going to have to borrow Eric's 100mm lens and experiment except there aren't any insects in Dec. Might have to wait 'til Spring.
