Ohhhhhhh wow

look at the size of those Caterpillars !!
Now that I have seen one on your hand I can see just how big they are.
My goodness, they're fat too!

Phil I would be beside myself with joy, with the biggest cheezy grin on my face if I had access to such beautiful caterpillars as these

Can't wait to see the continuation of the Morphing Process.

Excellent Series
