My he's a beauty.. and given the size of the moth I guess it's no surpirse the caterpillar must be the size of a damn constrictor!

First shot is really nice.

Thank very much, I actually looked up to see this Caterpillar no more than 4 inches away, It was quite a shock, the second shock was realizing what kind of Caterpillar it was. Thanks again for the very kind words.:D :D :D

Now you know how fattening that would be? And not to mention prickly as well.;) :lol: ;)

Thank you all for the extremely kind words on this one. I was tempted to put a collar on him, but I dont have enough trees to keep him fed. I will do my best to keep updating this one.:D :D :D :D

Great composition.... and what great poses you got from him! Fantastic! In that second one he looks adorable... or at least as adorable as a big green prickly pillar can be ;) LOL
