Those are some very neat shots Narmer! Is that a real caterpillar? Jim

Thank you Tiger: Yes it's a real one.

I have seen a nice macro of same species in Pbase, but don't recall links.

Here it is from a page found with google, see down at the bottom of the page

I shot the same species too once (there are different color variations):

It's Lymantria dispar, the Gypsy Moth. That's an interesting species, because sometimes after years of constant population there can happen Gypsy Moth outbreaks which can seriously damage the woods of a whole region.

The caterpillar is fantastic! I like the lighting effect on the pearls too. Don

Thanks to all.

Stoney I had thought it must have been a moth's rather than butterfly caterpillar.

It's starting to be cold also here in Italy so, unless some indoor experiment, it is nearly useless to carry with me 6T/5T outdoor now.
I envy persons like Tchuanye who may arguably shot at someinteresting insect all the year.
