Hello
Today, i'm sharing a work of Lousefly with some eggs on it's mouthpart. At 1st glance, I thought these are some kind of parasite eggs which about to hatch.. but thankfully with Nikola Rahme's help on the facebook, we found out that these eggs are assembling the specie own eggs!
We still don't know how did they reach the mouthpart neither how they're stucked there.. therefore, any info here are appreciated.
Also, I found that there is one big egg -perhaps?- on the top of the eggs.. I still don't know what that is & whether if it's related to the eggs or not!
The good news is.. I got a HM for this work in Olympus Bioscapes Competition 2014
the sad news is.. in additional to the HM prize I was one of the top ten winners.. but then the work got disqualified by the judge panel when they knew that it was taken using the JML21mm instead of a real microscope objective.. that hurts
Somehow I missed the point that all works MUST be taken using a microscopic objective.. my fault.
Anyway, I'm honored to see my name listed with such big names and among some fascinating works
Here's the work
Used equipments:
- Nikon D800E
- Mitutoyo 10X BD
- Nikon Bellows BP-6
- Twin Flashes
I'll upload a better res later as I haven't uploaded the work yet on my filcr account.. once I do.. i'll update it here.
Cheers,
Yousef

Congratulations Yousef, a well-deserved crown on all your work.
Now you made me curious for the image you submitted taken with the JML.
