Description
I have several pics of the American Painted Lady Butterfly, but this is the first time I have seen the caterpillar.
This one was about 1" long and was a very fast crawler, lol. I do not know which instar it is but by the last instar, they are green.
Thanks to those who take the time to comment.

Outstanding image, You are getting to grips with the new Camera Leeco excellent information as always, thanks for sharing.
awesome pic
Wow - what an interesting set of colors!
Superb....a very striking beastie.
Sweet little critter.
Never have seen this one as a caterpillar either. Excellent photo Lee!
Wonderful markings. Well captured.
Some of those bristles look wicked sharp Lee, it isn't one of those that sting is it?? I am always wary of caterpillars as I don't know the difference between those that hurt and those that tickle. Excellent capture and such a beauty as well. Bravo!!!!!
Terrific shot, Lee.
Looks like the new camera is working out for you now, or is this still with older one? Very nice shot!
Wonderful caterpillar and macro..!!
WOWWWWWWW Wonderful image
a very nice guy! Fantastic photo!
Great Macro of a fantastic caterpillar.
Another "wow" shot. Those red dots on the black,and the white stripes with touches of yellow near the bottom are just amazing. I have seen this in books but I like this shot better than what I've seen in the past.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. I HAVE TO FIND THE BUTTERFLY NOW. I AM GOING TO START WITH YOUR GALLERY! LOL GREAT SHOT!
Very cool capture. Excellent details. This one is a beauty.
