A Simple Hunger [Contest Finalists August 2005]
Uploaded: August 17, 2005 13:23:56
In our complicated world, there is very little that is truly simple. For the caterpillar, what is simple is hunger, eating, and growing. LOL
Oops, data missing at the moment. This was taken outdoors in natural light, full sun, and I played with it just a bit in PS, will supply data later I hope. Taken with point and shoot. (Which generally takes nice macros)
