Thanks Adrie for the comment,
I took the picture from this Catterpillar in my garden.
I am not so happy with them because they eat a lot off leaves .
Found out on the web that this kind becomes a Moth and not a Butterfly.
Best regards,

This is a very nice shot. sharp, good color : I think it is one of the best macro of your collection!

Thank you very much Sergio ,
As I said to Adrie, the Catterpiller is eating all the leaves.
I will allow them because they make beautiful pictures.

Best regards,

Nice one Fons....very sharp, colourful and clear

Thanks Bevellee ,

Now we have to wait untill he/she is turning in to a Moth.
When the transition is done into a moth I hope to see the same colours again....

Best regards,

Nice shot of the ''Wapendrager"> dutch name)

The blur red diagonal line upper right side is quite distracting off the photo.
Always Try to get a clean view.
Greetings Fillip.

This is the moth taht will come after the transformation..:



Thanks to Fillip I know the name off the catterpiller.
Thanks Fillip,
The red blur diagonal is a twig from the tree the catterpiller staid in, shooting the catterpillar was easy , seeing the twig not.....

Thanks Fillip

The blur red diagonal line upper right is a twig, I did not see it when I took the picture.
I noticed that is was there , but I did not find it distracting from the total view.
When I have an other change I try to make a new "Clean shot "....

Anyway thanks for the name , I added an picture to it from the Moth that will sow up after the transformation..

Best regards,

Sure very very sharp with good details & colours. Nice curve formation as well. Great Macro.

Thank you very much for looking through my images.
This one taken in 2005 is a while ago again , never seen these Caterpillars back, to bad...;-((
Well you never know....maybe they show up ones every two years, so maybe in Aug/Sept I have to be on the look-out again.
