ashutoshshindeDescription
Dawn of a Golden Era !!!!While on our trail at Nagla block I came across tiny eggs laid on a leaf.. It was even smaller than mustard seeds.. While taking a 1:1 view on it I observed the new born bee/fly (ID unknown) was still on the eggs. Not sure about the behavioural pattern but surely it was a one of the great macro sighting i have had till date.Need expert advise on ID and further details
