Four species (at least)

have laid eggs in the Butterfly house now. These are heliconid eggs.

the new toy arrived

Butterfly eggs from Papilionid, on citrus

 

Unfortunately I got the wrong adapter for  my dslr so I just took the first pics with my compact camera on the lens

Butterfly Transport from Emsbüren to Papenburg

concerning microphotography...

...it´s NOT good for my bank account to have time off, I always get into trouble.
I either start thinking about travelling or photo equipment or both.

Ordered a stereo-microscope (which in german is a Binocular. But Binoculars in english are field glasses. Very confusing) and a camera adapter to be able to take butterfly close-ups.

Hope my new toys will work, excited like a kid :).

You cannot have it all I guess...

...still missing teamwork and many of my colleagues.

Feels like a very bad and long-lasting case of homesickness.

Absolutely love being able to work mostly independently, though.


Spend the day looking for caterpillar host plants on the net and in the real world, fascinating stuff :).

microphotography...

... love the pics and would love to try but all the good stuff is incredibly !  expensive.
And I guess, as with Macro, it doesn´t make sense to try with less-good stuff because the results are too disappointing.
