This is just an awesome shot…a pro couldn’t have done better. This should be in a magazine somewhere. I just love this. This is bound for a Challenge winner for sure!

Thanks – I’m not a big fan of caterpillars (I know some people aren’t), but I loved the colors of this guy!
Renee Dawson
AWESOME composition Lori. Love this one!
ldeiter78 replied
Thanks Renee – I know these caterpillars are not the most beautiful creatures, but the colors were great!
Renee Dawson
I LOVE monarch caterpillars! My husband is under very STRICT instructions NOT to remove any milkweed on our property as that’s what they feed and lay their eggs on :)
ldeiter78 replied
Yes – it’s amazing how insects are attracted to certain plants. Thanks Renee!

Do they pose for you? I can never get them to do what I want. Even spiders hide when I come on the scene…..lol
Stunning , what I am saying…that is perfection in yellow
ldeiter78 replied
The day I took these photos – I must have snapped at least 30 or more pics. I played with the caterpillars for a little while before I got some good shots. (there was acutally 3 of them!)

Hmmmmm….... It’s a natural photo, but I “helped” him find the daisy. I actually went to my garden to take butterfly pics and found this guy eating my orange butterfly weed. I relocated him for a photo shoot (about 30 pics) then put him back where I found him. He just looked so much better with the gold daisy!!
