Macro Photography
I spotted this crazy dude yesterday as I was chilling by a daytime fire down by the ocean. I've never seen anything like it in my life, but my first thought was, oh I'm gonna look this up and he'll be common as shit.
Orgyia antiqua...sure enough, a common caterpillar in southern Canada...
His little mohawk looks like the finest paint brushes made of the softest hairs...something Fae could paint with, though I doubt they'd be so rude as to take the brushes away from this peaceful warrior.
The beauty and majesty of Creation never ceases to amaze me. Art mimics life. All of our greatness come from observing nature.
ha. that is like mine on the step that day. just taking time to chill and enjoy the little tiny creatures in life...very cool yours is. :)))
Que linda y extraordinaria es esa Oruga @lyndsaybowes. Sobre todo que es eso que tiene la oruga en la parte de arriba
Yay for crazy critters in cooler and temperate climates... Why should the tropics have all the fun, am I right?
bro you are right.
LOLZ
I heard this Shakira song one time...changed my life.
I sorta "wtf'ed" at your comment — and then remembered the Shakira spam post hehehe...
These are eggs from a predator fly. They will suck the juices out of the caterpillar until it's dead.
Whaaaaa?
That thing is wicked cool! He looks like he wants to down a pint, headbutt me, all while listening to the Ramones!! I think I like this guy!
LOLOLOLOLOL!!
Ha!! Ha!! HHHhhhaaa!!! Don't like the Headbutting bit papercrusher :P
That thing does look badass! Great shots- macro can be really hard. Thankfully caterpillars don't move too fast. I often find myself in the same situation of finding a cool bug or something of that nature that I think is super unique, only to find out it's extremely common haha
I'm glad you can empathize Herbert :)
it might be a common caterpillar in southern Canada but i never see anything like it :D it's very cool!
