...and all i got was this lousy shot LOL ;o)
Seriously, i got lost in the woods yesterday LOL After a good 3 hour walk i finally
came to the conclusion the path wasnt going to lead me back to my car (i figured
i could walk back to my car in a big circle). So i decided to backtrack, BUT then i
saw loads of mushshrooms and i just had to take a couple of shots. When i was done
and wanted to follow the path i came on back to the car i realized i didnt remember
which path it was... You see, there were several paths coming together at the point
i stopped and decided to go back, even worse, the paths all had sidepaths and i didnt
remember if i came from one of them. After taking several wrong paths and walking
them back to the crossing again, i finally started to recognize mushrooms i had seen
and shot during the walk... So, finally, i followed the mushshrooms back to my car LOL ;o)
Ok, the pic:
I know this is technically a rather bad shot... i had to use flash on this one,
although i dont like to... but i just HAD to capture and share this. Its somesort
of parasitic wasp that has laid an egg on a caterpillar. The egg is spun in silk or
something for those who wonder ;o) lol
I cant even find what caterpillar it is let alone the species of wasp... *sigh* so if
anyone knows which caterpillar this is or even which wasp, please do tell me :o)
Have an excellent saturday !! :D

This is seriously good for a quick shot! I have heard of people following bread crumbs home but never mushrooms :-) - Terribly happy you found your way back! Please, in future, be careful! Bravo sir!

Shucks I thought he was hitching a ride out of the woods and had a bag of luggage along. Super job in my book. Thanks for sharing.

Oh do I know how you must have felt being lost. Glad that there was a mushroom to map your the way back. I'm looking forward to getting my self a gps. Stay safe. Excellent capture. Aloha

This does soooo not look like the thumb. I bet that was a sweet shot as well as this one. This is sooo wicked as the english seem to say, lol. Aint too fun getting lost in the woods. A few weeks ago, me and Eija totally lost our way when we all of a sudden crossed a bear-path...Eija freaked out big time from the smell of it. Ran screaming in the other direction, which eventually lead us out to safety. Remember not to whistle when out walking where there are bears...attracts them. Thats my little bla bla bla for today, now i need to play with the kitten for a while. See ya. #:O)

There's a method to get out from a maze, dear. A method which never never fails: Just put your right hand on the right wall and walk, no more! If you don't interupt the contact, you always get out... Hmmm, actually if the maze has several entries, you may get out on the wrong one but then, you've got another method: Stand at the border of the road, close your hand with the thumb tight and wait... We call this method hitch hiking! I share your opinion about flashes!

Hate the flash!Personally I never use the thing...Amusing story Jeroen.Glad you made it out and back to civilisation...even if it meant having to share this rather repulsive image with us.LOL! Don't get me wrong.That's not because of how it looks.I just get totally creeped out by anything like 'parasitic' wasps.Parasitic anything is just plain gross.But that's just me...no offense. -M :)
dtp
the flash gives It a particular look actually is fantastic

o dangerous place to be lost - nice image the flash adds a bit of contrast but don't think it is too much :)

Sorry not knowing about the species, but the shot IS spectaculair! Wow! This caterpillar seems to be 'de klos' LOL! You tried a very original way to find your way back and with success! Never underestimate the human intelligence when it concerns hardship (I would hope Kyoto would apply to that as well :( hm) and well, getting lost somehow made you find this one! Very impressive work, Jeroen!

1st of all I'm not surprised more photographers don't get lost. We do get "carried" away with our work don't we? 2nd: Does it hurt the caterpillar that the egg has been laid on it? Does egg just fall off when it's ready to hatch? (I've learned so much about insects since viewing your work). 3rdly, VOTE!!! Even your "bad shots" are superior! I'd be happy to have one of your bad shots ANY DAY
hasexx
superb macro!!! vote

You couldn't possibly take a bad shot! Thank you for uploading this --- I LOVE it! I have never seen a black catty before -- but what a FIND atop his back -- a bad bug laying an egg ROFL!!! ( I just CALL them 'bad bugs' .. I know they are not ALL bad ) :) You find and capture the best .. :))) Have a wonderful day.. I'll see what I can find on that black one; see if maybe I can be of help to YOU for a change! lol

Lol ! a very funny and superb macro Jeroen ! Funny to see this small bee transporting on his back ! Great shot !!! and if all your shot was always perfect.. it will be hard for us ;-)))) don't worry about that ! you are still the King of the macro my friend !!!!
tesla
I know how you felt,been lost myself!!!Even with the flash it is still an xlent macro!!!

I can very well understand that you took this picture although it perhaps needed some flash light. One doesn't see the scenario on this picture every day.. so the choice is easy at that point. I know I saw this caterpillar before.. but what kind of cater it is.. I don't know.. BTW: today I've found some enormous mushrooms.. couldn't believe my eyes.. that big.. I don't know the species.. but you seem to have knowledge about shrooms.. Could you help me identify my mushrooms (didn't find their name on the web so far)

MaydaMason

Punaguy
I can relate to getting lost..sometimes you are just into the moment and forget yourself...it's a wonder we survive sometimes. Very oppotune find and capture..flash or not it's a fine capture! Aloha!

When you walk in these impressing surroundings the attention isn't paid to the road you go i suppose. But details can bring you back home. Happy for you you managed to reach your car again. And of course a beautiful impression of the road you went.
tvernuccio
