Tawny Emperor - Egg Cluster - Asterocampa clyton

Okeechobee, Okeechobee County, Florida, USA
June 21, 2009

Egg cluster is laid on the underside of Hackberry leaves (Celtis occidentalis). This is the second egg cluster which I have encountered and the other was about the same size and also four "eggs" tall. This is a side view of the egg cluster.

A truly definitive series!

I'm very impressed by the detail of your observations and the time and care you've taken in preparing these images. I enjoyed viewing this life cycle very much! Thank you.

Thanks Harsi!

I have generally been detailed with my photographic documentation of the life cycles of Lepidoptera, but since my recent association with Bug Life Cycles, I have been more diligent with my attention to detail. This has also helped me to get more detailed with their developmental time lines - a big bonus as far as information is concerned!
