Nice to see him close up. Hopefully you didn’t get stung

The color and patterns on even the smallest of creatures is so fascinating. I’ve never heard of a stinging caterpillar but it doesn’t sound fun.

Nice close-up .. love the pattern. I didn't know they could sting either.

@wws1968 Yes - and with more colour than the normal brown ones - still stings though. :)

@fbailey Thanks FB - it did show me that the fish -eye settings puts the central bit out of focus. Good to know. Cheers

@jgpittenger Hi Jane - I nearly walked on him - that would have really squashed him!! :)

@hrb73 Hi Hydee - quite a few of our caterpillars sting - and they really hurt!

@bintal Hi Sylvia - thanks for your comment - it's actually the hairs that sting you - so this guy with the really long hairs would sting you even if you just brushed past him. He was pretty though. :)
