Description
A tiny caterpillar of some sort hanging from one of my oak trees, taken earlier in the spring when the oaks were just starting to leaf out.

That is fantastic photography!
fantastic and interesting photos!
WOW It is really hard working. What a marvellous series of captures. Bravo Maria.
Super set!
Recognized the thread as soon as I zoomed. Like your series of four shots! Wonder if one of your favorite birds had him "over" for lunch:)
Oh this is great. Ballet in the air. Gorgeous smooth tone.
Really cool!
Super study! ( I saw a large ant making off with one of these guys the other day.)
Superb montage of this caterpillar and from the look of it hauling it'self up or down! I am always fascinated with such behaviours..
What an impressive scene!!
Very cool Maria.... Love it!
This is amazing. My daughter would love this. Her class recently did a project where they 'raised' a bunch of catepillars and watched them turn into butterflies. They were 'painted ladies' according to my daughter. Wonderful details in this montage.
Nature is always full of surprises and you've captured this one so beautifully, with outstanding presentation.
marvelous!
Splendid composition and colors my friend
Excellent captures and details.
Fine sequence of captures, Maria. What a strange caterpillar, all albino like that and hanging by a thread, like the Sword of Damocles.
Great series of shots!
Beautiful captures and colors! What a marvelous find!
there must have been no breeze at all.here everyday it is blowing.excellent macros
Great collage. Love the title. Dana
Twisting in the wind.....great grouping...
He's probably going to eat lots of those oak leaves if he escapes your well-fed birds, which he might! Good luck little guy!
excellent captures and great collage
Stunning capture Maria.
Well caught, and he is dancing for you.
Hope he manages to get all wound up before some bird takes him for tea, lets hope he/she makes it all the way. Excellent captures and presentation Maria Bravo!!!!! I have also posted a caterpillar today.

c'est superbe !!!
Wonderful photo series my friend.....!!!!!
