Hi lightning,

For those caterpillar shots, how close were you to the caterpillar?

Can you share your f-stop used?

Thanks

You've shot the caterpillar of the Common Birdwing (Troides helena cerberus). Your next shot was of its pupa i.e. that's what the caterpillar will look like when it pupates. If you want to know what the butterfly looks like, PM me.

Wow...that is a very difficult name even to pronounce, how do you manage to remember! Thanks for letting me know. Learned something new today.
