Nice shot Gordon!
I haven't seen an egg since I got my macro lens, maybe I'm not looking hard enough!

Very interesting, Gordon - I've never seen the detail on one before. Let me guess - the infamous MPe-65? |

I can highly recommend looking through Brian`s (LordV) photostream on Flickr, he has hundreds of Hoverfly and there egg pictures, the IQ is amazing ... Flickr: Search Lord V's photostream |

Absolutely fascinating!! I must take a magnifying glass with me and see if I can spot any eggs. I haven't seen much blight about this year - plenty of tomtits. Thanks for the tip.
