Caterpillar


This caterpillar has been munching its way through the garden for the two days that I have been watching it. It took a while to get a good image of it, as it was lost in the background foliage in the daylight photos. This night image worked out well, throwing the background into black with a shallow DOF and use of a flash.

Not surprised it kept getting lost in the background. The colour match to the leaf is amazing. Good idea to get a night shot, it turned out well.
