Out on the town

These tent caterpillars emerge from their silky "tent" to go forage for food as a group. Here they are wrapped around an unripe honeysuckle berry.
Eeep, but awesome focus and texture. Fav!

Amazing photo of them!
June 21st, 2014  
Nice focus!

How amazing that they are all in a group like that. Great shot.

Super coooooool! Ok, I need your help. In my "Mostly Birds" album, I think I've posted a Phoebe...is it? There was a nest and parents and I only got a good shot of the parent with bug in mouth. Always makes me think of you!! :) Oh, and fav, of course.

wow! I have never seen such a crowd. Good one, Hope!

Wow -- this is amazing. The eyes, legs, and sheer number make this quite cool. Fav!
June 21st, 2014  
Wow! A great shot. Fav

This is great. They look so cute close up.
June 21st, 2014  
Nice focus, Hope!

They look like strings of pearls. I must do some research into what they morph into

Wow, hope, another really disturbing shot! nicely done, but these guys are so scary. I hope they stay away from my trees. I see whole trees covered with tents here in Langley this week.

My spine is still tingling, it's the sheer number of them that disturb me. Years ago there was an explosion in our ladybird population. I love lady birds but that year no, way too many, I just can't imagine whole trees covered with them like Trinda says

Beautiful patterns created by the caterpillars! Wow!

I'm with Margaret on this one! But I also like it - you have caught so much detail.
June 21st, 2014  
Wow, there are so many of them
June 21st, 2014  
Great close up detail
June 21st, 2014  
Love this
June 21st, 2014  
Terrific!!!

I took a shot of the tent yesterday but didn't post it. This is much more interesting!

Another amazing macro.
June 21st, 2014  
Absolutely fantastic find and capture.
June 21st, 2014  
this is another wonderful macro. you are so good at these.
okay, i'm your get-pushed partner this week and I know that you've been doing this for awhile, so...your get-pushed challenge this week is to push yourself. What photo skill has been on your bucket list to try, but haven't yet? Levitation? Moon shot? Look deep inside yourself and find something that you haven't done yet but want to try. I'm curious to see what you think up. The only caveat is that you have to actually do it and don't go easy on yourself. Good luck!

Love these!
June 21st, 2014  
Euuu! But great shot. The only thing keeping it from being a fav is the subject matter.
June 21st, 2014  
Such an amazing image--you really caught some creepy crawlies in a strangely beautiful composition.
June 22nd, 2014  
permission to use this shot in an upload of mine?!
June 22nd, 2014  
Great photo of some creepy crawlies I detest in my own trees. Nice DOF.
June 22nd, 2014  
@blueberry1222 wonderful Krista! I'll have to have a think on yours!
June 22nd, 2014
