Description
Nikon 7900 image.
This has been a good week for me. I have managed to capture a number of new critters, including several different caterpillars and a very oddly colored Katydid.
This caterpillar was a stout little guy. His grip was very raspy and quite strong.
I suppose I should have saved this image for Halloween but I could not wait that long, lol.
Thanks to those who take the time to comment.

Another fantastic shot Lee, I must agree he would make an excellent Holloween guest! I'm sure he would scare quite a few adults. Exceptional Photography as always. Bravo!!!!!

If I didn't have to see it so detailed and close up, I might allow it to crawl on me but after a good look at it, I couldn't... Wonderful shot!

I saw one of these earlier this year; I thought wth? I took its photo; but as I later discovered, it was dead, when I didn't even know it. :-| good live shot LOL
Great shot! The detail in the small shot is so good you almost don't need the zoom, glad I did though.
