[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Smerinthus ocellatus - family Sphingidae.

Nice, green caterpilar of Eye Hawk-moth. Most of caterpilars of Sphingidae have a horn at the end of the body - it's some kind of identification sign.

Caterpilars can be found usually on willows, sometimes inthe gardens. It's a common specie but I like it.

Hi Christoper,
This is an excellent shot of this cat.
Well exposed with great color. Very good sharpness, detail, and DOF. The blue sky predominating the BG looks great, and contrasts nicely..
Well done and TFS!

Hi Chris,
perfectly taken shot of that hawkmoth caterpillar, well focussed, with excellent colours and subtle contrasts.
Very well set off from a bright, soft and pretty background. I love the blue sky behind that scenery.
Great shot. Thank you.
Best regards,
Peter
