Caterpillar

This is a tiny Sawfly Larva Caterpillar eating its way through a leaf in my garden.

Quite a little jewel larva caterpillar - well captured!

@quietpurplehaze Well thank you Hazel looks like I got it wrong again, so its a Peacock Jewel Larva Caterpillar, every days a school day thanks for putting me right:)

@pcoulson

Oh I meant it's a jewel of a larva caterpillar because it's so cute and 'bijou'. I'm sure you're right about its name - I know nothing about caterpillars Peter!!! Sorry for confusion.....

Amazing clarity and focus on this one Peter. Looks like I've got to stop watching Gertrude and start looking for caterpillars. :)

[Peter]

@quietpurplehaze Thanks for the clarification Hazel, I did think I was correct but have been wrong many times before, lol:)

[Peter]

@novab Thank you for your lovely comments Nova they are appreciated, Caterpillars move very slowly and aren't at all scary:)

[Peggy Scroggins]

Very interesting design on the caterpillar. Love the close up. FAV

[Babs]

He has lovely markings. Hope he doesn't have too many friends with him.

[Peter Grave]

Wonderful detailed shot Peter. You probably have birds that keep them under control ? fav

[Peter]

@miata2u Thank you for both your comment and Fav. Peggy they are appreciated, the little critters have been eating away on a Rose bush:)

[Peter]

[Peter]
