Which comes first?
(does birth is always happening before death?)
Today I was doing some macro shooting comparison between my Oly and my daughters NIKON. That is because yesterday I have purchased macro extension tubes for her Nikon.
Not good subjects was ready at hand, so I tried to shoot leaves of a bouquet of flowers, which my wife put on a terrace table.
I leave this comparison results for a future, because I am not certain I'm ready yet for final decision.
But while shooting, I have noticed a few dead insects on the leaves. All were very tiny, only 3-5 mm in length.
What surprised me was that one of the insects seemed got it's death even before it's birth. Maybe that was a mosquito, but I may be wrong. Whatever it was, it made me a bit weird feeling.
Birth and DEATH on the same flower
Here are some of the pictures of what I have seen today on our bouquet

Hey @onealfa, I'm a biologist, but sadly I am not an entomologist to tell you what kind of insect it is. I am a cell biologist and I work with genetics. I will try to figure out what insect is it. I really enjoyed your photos because sometimes I take pics like that, but not with your camera jajaja.Keep going inspiring me to take great pictures like you do.

I think that to die you have to be alive. Greetings
While baby is still inside mother's uterus , it's birth is not yet happened, right? But does it means it can not die?
He is alive, because from the conception there is already life, but when he comes out to the outside world he can die, that's why I tell you, to die you have to be alive.
Excellent picture, Life and death are intertwined. to die you have to be alive. regards

Paper beats rock. But rock beats scissors...scissors cuts paper. Kif...we have a conundrum here...
The chicken or the egg? We might never know for sure, but these pictures are quite impressive anyway to say the least.
This is so true. This is great observance.
Observations are easy to make when the pictures are this sharp.
Of course!
Life is just so full of surprises. How could a death comes before birth? But we all, just see it. And I hope that we could all discover more if we simply observe. Great post @onealfa.
Very beautiful photos! Birth and Death is like the chicken and egg. A big mystery :)

OHH WOW ALWAYS wanted to know what is the step by step process of the birth of an insect, thanks to this article now I know.
The quality of the photography is beautiful
very good photos, it is definitely another world, it is good to investigate why those insects die in that plant, it may be that the plant is poisonous to them, or there is another insect that feeds on them.
there can be no life without death in the universe and vice versa, that is nature.
Death is the shadow of life. Often closer than you think
So fucking nice . keep the flag flying
