Insect eggs

Journal Entry: Tue Jun 9, 2009, 5:34 PM
Last summer I found another perfect example of natural geometry in my vegetable garden. The tiny (almost) symmetrical patterns in these pictures were attached to a leaf of one of my bean plants. As far as I can tell, these are eggs laid by a shield bug [link] or stink bug. The bug itself is a rather quirky looking leaf eater, they can become a pest though. The second picture shows nature's clever solution: a small parasitizing wasp. It's larvae eat the eggs and thus keep the bug population under control.

looks like you are very patient while painting. i admire this quality because this is something i lack right now but i am going to develop in me.
I really liked your psychedelic gardens paintings. :)

Thanks Reshu,
Patience can be pretty challenging but it's all worth it in the end. The devil is in the detail :devil:
