Larvae, another macro taken at the Wegerzyn Gardens. :)
Larvae, and very possibly a green caterpillar that i thought was a leaf before i looked at the shot closely.
(carrying its young to be on its back, or victim of another insect's and acting as the helpless carrier?)

This is an amazing macro Jean-Luc, you captured the larvae so well
Great Macro Shot!
Outstanding shot!! :)
impressive!
They look like Rice Krispies. Neat shot.
Thank you Magnus, J5ive, Daver, Flavia and MorningGlory. :)
Oh my goodness! They must not spray for insects! Those larvae and the caterpiller are both so awesome. Fantastic shot!!
Thank you, Shari. :)
Excellent shot!
Wow, I thought it was a leaf too at first. Excellent capture! : )
Thank you Throbbe and LovelyPoetess. :)
The larvae is attacked by a sort of Parasitoid wasp. These lay their eggs inside a living animal like a butterfly larvae or other arthropods where the "youngsters" eat its host alive. It is the wasp's own pupated larvaes which are seen on the back of this caterpillar, which itself is dead or dying. A great shot from the sometimes cruel nature. R.
Thank you, Rhanagaz, and thanks for the explanation. :)
Very cool find and shot.
Thank you, NightGallery. :) I came back there yesterday to try and find the caterpillar again, but no luck. Too bad i didn't take more photos of it the first day, i would have had more choices. Oh well... shrugs At least i got one shot. :)
Great and cool shot!!!
Thank you Marianne. :)
