[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A caterpillar is the larval form of a member of the order Lepidoptera (the insect order comprising butterflies and moths). They are mostly phytophagous in food habit, with some species being entomophagous. They grow through a series of moults and each intermediate stage is called an instar. They are voracious feeders and many of them are considered pests in agriculture. Many moth species are better known in their caterpillar stages because of the damage they cause to fruits and other agricultural produce.

This is a picture of a caterpillar of Common Jezebel(I think)...If it is not so please give me the details.
I shot this picture in Omkar hills,Bangalore.

Hi Arjun,
This is an excellent capture. Very well composed and fine details. I like the POV a lot. Sorry don't don't know the ID of it. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Great capture with superb detail on a nice BG - Well done, Arjun! Cheers, Klaus

This is a great capture, Arjun. Every little hair is perfectly sharp. Amazing! I like the diagonal and the simplicity of your composition.
