Thank you. It was a little bit of a startle when I turned over the leaf & saw this guy.

Being strictly nocturnal and having quite a short emergence period in late June - July, it is not often encountered by the non-enthusiast. With that in mind, I am quite pleased to have had the opportunity to photograph one.     Paul. Interesting - cool that you had the opportunity.

So I went to my little carrying cage first thing this morning to release this very hairy caterpillar back onto the plant I found it on. I did not see it right away, but knew it had no escape. I found it after moving some leaves, it had removed all of it's ornamental hair & used it to fashion a cocoon!

Jun 27, 2021 12:46 | #5646 I had the tubes attached to the Laowa & automatically turned it to 2x (which I'm guessing gives me 3x?) This guy was a little bigger than I had anticipated & had to back off to get full body in. The lens markings read 1.5:1 when it fit so it's probably more like 2:1.

I have a hard time trying not to be over critical of new equipment. I like the results..But you have to be pleased with it yourself...

Thanks for the input. Always anxious with new gear, especially until the 15 day return period ends.

Jun 28, 2021 08:25 | #5654 This shot is the exact moment he decided to jump on my lens. He did it several times, did not appear to be afraid of me at all. I learned they do a little "wiggle" as they're getting ready to jump.  Image hosted by forum (1109675) © Pigpen101 [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW.
