A closer look...

More time permitted me to take some close up pictures of the eggs and the pro-larvae.

Here is how they all start, the grid is 1mm x 1mm. Inside of these tiny balls is a little bit of yolk and some cells which assemble and make an animal body.

And here is what they become a tiny pro-larvae, sitting quietly and continuing to develop.

Here is a much closer image, each of the grids is a 1mm x 1mm box, so you can tell this guy is small. The head is actually the smaller end pointed down. The little black dots are individual pigment cells.
