Datana major... by marlboromaam

Datana major...

Shot in black and white mode. No conversion. This creepy crawler is commonly known as the azalea caterpillar. My poor azalea's have been ravaged by this wriggling mass of creatures. I was hoping that maybe they'd become beautiful butterflies... Uh, no. They'll become the strangest weirdest moths I've ever seen!

Great shot of these interesting looking caterpillars. Hmm, now I want to see that moth picture ;-)

@ludwigsdiana Thank you, Diana!

@wakelys Thanks, Susan! I got used to posting a link with info from my first year here. So many folks would ask me about subjects that I didn't have the answer for, so it was better to search and post a link with the pic.

Even better in B&W.

So clear. I don't know if we have them in the UK? I've never seen anything like this!
