Baby peacocks

A photo that nearly got away yesterday. A few of the peacock butterfly caterpillars that had just hatched in the meadow we passed through on the way to watch the bumps. I know they had only just hatched because there were still leaves left on the nettles.

Stunning detail. I don't know if it's my bad observation until now but this year I've noticed all these caterpillar webs around xx

Oh my word Judith this is awesome as they say! I quite like their little jewelled bodies, what a great capture you have there. I like the straight on view!
