This is an early instar (life stage) of the Banksia Moth Caterpillar (Danima banksiae). Found it as I was about to go home from the Bank Street reserve at Ashgrove.
Nikon d70 : 1/60 : f/9 : 90mm : iso200

About Me
- Ben
- I'm a 30 something, amateur photographer living in Albury, Australia, though I commenced this blog while living in Brisbane. I've dabbled with photography since my school days, but have recently reignited my enthusiasum for it since upgrading to a ditital SLR. I started this blog in July 2006, after viewing and being inspired by many other photoblogs. I hope my blog will contribute to that inspiration for others. For those who just can't help but want to know what equipment everyone else is using, here is what's in my bag of tricks: Nikon d70, 18-70mm lens, 75-300mm lens,90mm macro lens, and sb600 flash. Please feel free to leave me comments on my photos - your thoughts help me to improve my photography.

A clearly disturbed little fella:
>When disturbed, the Caterpillars head and thorax are raised so that the true legs are pointed forwards. The rear end may also be raised, and then the body is 'U' shaped, with the prolegs pointing backwards.
