Saddleback Caterpillar [Butterfly Photos, Show Me Pictures of Butterflies ]
Uploaded: September 10, 2008 00:22:28
I decided to practice my macro shots, when I found about
40 of these caterpillars feasting on the palm trees in my yard.
I saved this one for the photo... he followed the other 39 afterwards.
You don't want to grab one of these, believe me!

I just had to comment on this little bugger...couldn't agree more with anyone here, but especially you! These guys sting like a wasp and have a great disguise. I manage to run into one by accident every fall clean up in the garden! Great shot. #6437576Mary E. Lake September 10, 2008
