Reminds me of the creatures that eat my tomato plants. We call them 'tomato worms' and they can get quite long.You can hear them as they chew up leaves. I sure don't like them.
ive seen a few of these on my travels, there was a B+W one at my doorstep which i think i have in my gallery, and i shot a few green ones like this with unsuccessful composition. but this is superb mate!!!
Wonderful! Raj will like this! Excellent done!!!*
Great macro Daniel....!! Very good focus....!!
It has a tail... and some racing stripes on the side... but I would be afraid to touch it... I don't know why... funny it turns into something so beautiful... :]
