Thanks for the comment.
I use a Canon 40D with a Canon 60mm f2.8 macro lens in combination with a full set (68mm) of kenko extension tubes.

what a nice combination
I have kenko extension tubes 12,20and 36 mm
I use it together along with sigma 105 mm
I can't wait to see more pix from u in the future

Truly amazing, geoff.
I thought they might be shield bugs.
Notice all the segments..

Thanks folks for your kind comments.
I thought I had a bunch of turtles when I first saw them.
The mystery is solved.

First off, great images!

But... can someone please explain how the hell did that happen?! I mean the golden egg just turned transparent after the bugs came out of it... did it have a sort of gold "film" inside?

obecanobe

All I can suggest is that the colour from the critter inside the egg is the colour we were seeing.
A little strange though, especailly with the lid being such a different distinct colour.

Very cool! The egg lid looks like a contact lens to me .

Thanks tlee, much appreciated.
