3 "Larva" photos.

[Paul]

3 photos, one a caterpillar I'm not 100% sure of yet (the one eating) and then what I'm fairly sure is a sawfly larva (the one with the nice eye, and note, that was at ISO 4000, with some NR) and finally a big and beautiful, wonderful Elephant Hawk Moth larva, a caterpillar I haven't seen since my childhood days, so it was great to have one of these in the garden (made the wife scream mind you, lol)...

Nice series but No3 is my favourite, I have managed to photograph the caterpillar myself a few years ago but it's the moth I really want to photograph... maybe one day.

Cheers m8.

 

That caterpillar was amazing. It was on my jeans and wouldn't let go for five minutes! Then I had it on my hand, and wouldn't let go for ages again. Eventually, I coaxed it off me onto a leaf, and after posing for me, it eventually went its own way, never to be seen since...
