Oh, what a brilliant reference! The photo's are amazing, I love the detail of Anatis ocellata spines. The hatchling images are so clear. I spent days in the summer waiting for ladybird eggs to hatch and watched as the yellow eggs changed colour and the final hatching of what looked like tiny spiders - even on the macro setting of the camera. Seeing them in Gilles images is remarkable.
The only disaapointment was seeing those which were on pins - I hope they were already dead. You see them and other insects like that in old Victorian collections - does it still go on?
Otherwise I am so impressed - great find!
