The Very Hungry Kale Eater

I went to pick kale from the garden . . . and . . .

a very hungry caterpillar indeed! what a lovely macro - I like how the slice through the middle makes it look like wings - a sign of its future?

[Rosie Kerr]

I really like the reference to Eric Carle's delightful book... a perfect image for the story.

[Marnie]

Definitely a relative of the Very Hungry Caterpillar! You're right about the wings.

[Richard Hickey]

Stunning picture.

[Dianne]

Eric Carl's book is so good! This one is now off to eat some pickles!

[Pam Knowler]

A great macro Junko! Hope he left some kale for you! Fav!

You have me smiling now - a book I always loved, as did my son!

I love his little hairs

[Leon Buijs]

Lovely image of this little fellow, hope he/she didn't eat all your kale

[Henri Russell]

Oh no, tell him to leave your Kale alone. Great photo.

What a marvelous shot - love the little caterpillar (and the reference to the wonderful book). Your dof is fabulous. Fav
