Hallo Thorsten,
ein wunderbar scharfes Bild der Geometriden-Raupe. Feinste Borsten und Spinnfäden sind zu erkennen. Gut ausgewählter Blickwinkel und Bildausschnitt.
Beste Grüße, Peter

HI Thorsten,
da hast Du einen Volltreffer gelandet, das ist genial! Sieht man da eine Zunge? Sieht echt so aus! Das Futter macht im Bauch ja ne echte Berg- und Talfahrt mit ;-) Super Schuß, Danke und Gruß

Hello Thorsten,
I am so thrilled that you know that book by Eric Carle.
It is one of my favourite books to read to my students every year.
This is a perfect image of the "very hungry caterpillar".
A great expression (or body language) if such a concept can be applied to a caterpillar.
Anyway, a great shot with sharp details and beautiful colors.
TFS. : )

Hallo Thorsten,
super Aufnahme!
man erkennt etliche Details darauf.
Ich finde gut dass der Hintergrund schwarz ist.So kommt das Haupt-Thema besser raus!

Hi Thorsten,
ganz schoen verfressen der kleine Kerl. Hast du super aufgenommen, der schwarze Hintergrund hebt die Farben und Details sehr gut hervor. Perspektive, Schaerfe und Belichtung sind super.

Butterfly or moth - the caterpillar is, in a strange way, beautiful in itself. Great details, interesting voracious munching pose!
Cheers

Hello Thorsten!
This is one of the best Geometridae caterpillar picture I have ever seen! Great timing and natural pose! And moreover, lovely sharpness, DOF and colours. In one word: fantastic! Bravo also for professional control of light (black BG is perfect to expose this insect), and informative note.
TFS and have a nice evening!

Hello Thor,
Good illustration of typical geometrid caterpillar pose. Nice DOF, colours and details. However I don't think there will be any nice colourfull imago. Most geometrids are just greyish or brownish moths, with some prominent exceptions, of course. So there's some hope :-)
Best greetings & TFS!
