CATERPILLAR

I saw this caterpillar crossing the patio the other day. Stopped it until i got the camera and took some shots. Then let him go along his way. I am sorry to see just one of these when the last time i had stocks in my garden a good number of years ago they where all over the place. And i made sure not to use pesticides anywhere. This time i realised how humans are destroying nature - so sad.
Many thanks for your views, comments and fav's.

Wonderful capture, I am not the biggest fan of the creepy crawlers but he looks really pretty from up close. You are right, with all the pesticides we are using we are destroying our own environment - sad really sad

The insect world tends to go in cycles so I think you're ok but it's also good of you to do your best to help out. Nice shot!
