Prickly Caterpillar

This little fella was crawling around the blooms of one of the mums sitting on my front porch. It was a cool, rainy day and I didn't venture far... in fact, I stayed in my pajamas and bathrobe until dinner... a day for reading and napping on the screened in porch.

Fabulous shot - what amazing light and detail. He is such a neat looking caterpillar.

[Lisa Poland]

Fantastic! Looks soft and fluffy. Is he poisonous?

[Cathy]

@homeschoolmom I wondered if he might be poisonous... similar looking ones are... I didn't touch him, but I didn't kill him either.

[Leslie]

What an interesting creature.

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

Great close up, detail, texture.

[Meredith McNay]

Wow.

[Danette Thompson]

Gorgeous! He almost looks like part of the flower.

[Lisabell]

I love your composition and how the caterpillar's "hair" mimics the flowers petals. Nice work!

[Mike Hendren]

Excellent color and detail … nice job! :-)

Beautiful capture:-)

Very cool - well seen. The Lake Susan is in Black Mountain, actually a tiny village called Montreat near Black Mountain.

@linc Isn't Billy Graham from Montreat?

What a unique creature! I love the way you captured it against those beautiful blooms. Boy, that sounds like a perfect day to me!

I can't believe nobody FAVed it. It's such an amazing macro. That caterpillar looks like part of the flower. The colors and the lighting are fabulous. FAV

What an amazing caterpillar with all its long "hair". Bet there are few that want to eat something that prickly. Pretty picture.
