Caterpillar and Rose

Saw this little one in my backyard while I was doing some yardwork. He was on the first rose to bloom on that bush this season. I had to go back in for the camera!

Many thanks Monty.

Great bug shots all.

The new subject is Wet, perhaps not original but lots of scope for creativity.

Congrats, Lester, and thanks for the 2nd place nod, Monty! There were some awesome bug shots in here (even if some of them gave me the willies). :)
