Egg suprise

Lord Vetinari

Spotted a moth outside the kitchen window stuck in a spider's web the other night just as I was going to bed. Feeling sorry for it I got it out of the web but kept it inside under a glass with a little water and honey overnight.
When i checked the moth the following morning, it was alive but the glass was covered in white specks. Found out what they were when I went to photograph the moth - eggs !
Anyway the glass and moth are now both outside.

Very nice detail Brian.

Do you think the eggs will make it through?

very nice, is it a angle shades moth? should have shot the eggs at x5 mag! or did you?

Paul Iddon

It is an Angleshade as far as I can tell Phil.

Thanks for the comments and ID

Phil did try a quick 5X shot of the eggs but they didn't look as good as the ones in the last shot taken at 4X FF.
Ian - no idea on the eggs but have left the glass in a fairly sheltered spot amongst some plants near our French Windows

Poor moth! Hope it survives along with the eggs. Truly inspiring captures.
