The very hungry bug

Something has been chomping into the tender new pohutukawa leaves - I think this is the culprit!

[Sue Wilde]

Such a great totle. Cool shot

[Joyce]

The holes are bigger then him he must have an amazing appetite:-) Well spotted and captured.

[Tony]

Amazing detail of the damage and alleged culprit.

[Keith Porteous]

Lovely capture, looks like a Weevil Beetle!

Great macro... I see the holes in my Pohutukawa but have never seen the bug... little devils...

Naughty! Great capture of the bugs and holes.

Oh dear! Nice light shining through those holes and lovely detail in the bug!

[Junko Y]

Ah, that reference to Eric Carle's book caught my attention right away~ I like how your inclusion of the holes really tells the story of the bug!

So it was late last night when I saw this... I love the Very Hungry Caterpiller.. as well...

[Dianne]

@julzmaioro yep, maybe we should write a NZ version?

[mag]

Maybe the leaf has eyes....
Great capture

[Junko Y]

@dide -- you're a teacher! are you part of the NZ Reading Association? My husband and I went to Auckland to speak at their conference last summer.

Great shot,fav:)

[Marnie]

Gives a whole new slant to The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

[Dianne]

@jyokota No I'm not part of the NZ Reading Association - a pity otherwise I would have been there!

[Babs]

Wow, he is a greedy beggar.

[Margaret Obey]

Someone should read him Eric Carle's book!
