So many

As I approached a bank of nettles I wondered what all the black stuff was on them.
As I got close I realised they were covered in these Peacock butterfly caterpillars.
We should have lots of butterflies in a month or so.

Woah! Look at those spines! Lovely detail.

[Michelle]

Well spotted, lovely capture

[Nina Ganci]

You must visit again soon when the butterflies are around

[Peter Dulis]

[Granny7(Denise)]

That is great

[Diana]

What an amazing find and capture. So sad that I seldom see butterflies here.

[LManning (Laura)]

They look quite menacing in this form! Very cool capture.

[Margaret Brown]

A super macro, hope they all survive and we get to see the photos!

how exciting

[Bri]

Great find and shot

[Kate]

Nice to capture so many together. Nice focus

[Lee]

They have great defensive spikes. Good shot.

[Pyrrhula]

And less plants. They are eaten by those cartepillars. You need some birds to regulated the amount of them.

[Babs]

They will be much prettier when they turn into butterflies.

[Shutterbug]

Have to love anything that can eat nettles rather that your garden.

[Dione Giorgio]

Lovely capture. I have never seen these caterpillars,
