In search of eggs Lycaenidae

Hello,

Today I was exciting to walk in the outskirts of my city Irshava. I was walking in an old abandoned plum orchard. Thanks to the sunny weather, a chance to see some insects.

I examined the young bushes plum, and at the height of one meter, I found eggs Thecla betulae. Despite the fact that I had to walk about two miles, in general, I managed to find 24 eggs. Also on the way I was lucky to find 4 tracks Lasiocampa quercus are on the branches of a bush plums, just sunbathing.

At the end of my walk was an unexpected meeting. :w00t:

I saw a hawk on the ground. I was surprised that he was not frightened and flew away. When I went closer to him, I saw that he had a broken wing. When I tried to get closer and take a picture of him, he crawled into dense thickets of blackberries. And I lost it.
