Monarch Caterpillar

Seems very late for these little fellows, here's hoping they survive to adulthood.

Another shot for macro March.....

Great shot Karen, he seems to be getting very fat, he's making a meal of that leaf!

THis is awesome, I've never seen the monarch caterpillar before. This is almost as pretty as the butterfly. Wonderful!

Great macro and processing. I see Monarchs at Mallacoota in far east Victoria, but haven't ever known what the caterpillars look like.

[Dianne]

Very cute - the very hungry caterpillar. 'On Monday he ate through one apple, but he was still hungry….'

What a great macro of a monarch caterpillar. Still trying to do as well. Well done

Fabulous DOF and I love the plain background because it brings the caterpillar forward as the star of this wonderful image.

Great use of dof, great detail too

I like the torsion here - and those beautiful colours.
