New Life
I found hundreds of these pods fallen under it's tree and took a few images backlighting them. The pattern looked very complex and beautiful and was different in each pod.
The next day I decided to examine every single pod to see if I can find some interesting subject on it and experiment with lighting. After going through dozens of them, I found these Lacewing eggs laid on one of them.
I found the connection to be something more than a co-incidence, how magical it is that the Lacewing lays its minute eggs on a seed pod, which is very similar to the eggs, holding inside new life giving seeds. Nature indeed is magical ! The complete frame in front of you is not more than 2.5 cms. Shot on Canon R6 + Canon 100mm 2.8 with Raynox 250 + 2 Godox Flashes.

Absolutely magical!, Prathamesh, the nature n your find as well. Light thru the pod, colour n texture make this much intriguing.
Thanks for sharing.

Backlighting is making this image very special.

Too good of an image! The red glow is beautiful.
I was wondering what more could have been done here.. How about side lighting the lacewing eggs with its shadows falling on the glowing pod? Not sure if this is practically possible or not. Anyways, what you have presented is already great! Tfs.

Thanks a lot Adhithya, Sarthak, Anders and Prashanth !!

@Sarthak I am unsure if that could have been done since the pod is backlit by a flash.
