Another Macro Series

[tchuanye]

Had a chance to shoot today at another park today. Almost went home empty handed as could not find any thing to shoot. But at a patch just behind a pond, chance upon this caterpillar that rolled up a leaf and stay inside the leaf (there were many of them) and they ate the leaf edges, and hid inside when I approach....very interesting. After seeing that, I notice the Kidney Garden Spider, and also a red jumping spider with a nest, BUT scooted off bef I could shoot. Chance upon a Lynx eating a meal....and did not see that until back home on my monitor.

As usual, appreciate any of your comments.
