Harlequin Beetle with newly hatched young

22-05-2018, 08:49 PM

G'day all

Found this mum on a stem patiently watching over a cluster of eggs - which hatched and the hatchlings? then all crowded onto the back of an adjacent leaf
Even with lots of wriggling I could not get it all in focus - so had to concentrate on mum & egg casings

As always, feedback welcome
Phil
