Caterpillar

Paul Iddon

Didn't expect to see a caterpillar at this time of year, but lo and behold, the wife saw it crawling along the path outside the front of the house.


Here's a couple of it - again, I think it is a Tiger Moth caterpillar, probably disturbed from the leaves beneath the bushes, which is where we released it. Probably won't survive, though how its even alive in November is odd enough...

Photo's taken indoors.


Head end:




And here is its boots at the other end!

What camera/flash settings ?
I find the light striping on some of the hairs a bit annoying- indicative of movement somewhere.

I think the exposure is OK but such dark subjects are difficult. Some diffusion may have helped with the shiny head and with showing overall detail.

Cheers folks. I was just surprised to see it!
