[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Common white cabbage buterfly caterrpillar.

Pieris brascicae

The caterpillars are yellowish green with yellow lines and black spots and feed in groups in plain view on the leaf surface. They gain protection from predators by obtaining distastful mustard oils from their foodplants although large numbers are sometimes lost to the parasitic wasp Apanteles glomeratus. The chrysalis is also yellowish green with black spots. The species over-winters as a chrysalis. It has two broods in a year, the first is on the wing in May and June and the second in August.

Salut Tanja
C'est encore une superbe photo d'une belle chenille qui va de venir un superbe papillon avec de belles couleurs,la belle composition et beau BG rende la photo très intéressante.
Bravo et merci...JP

This will be a magnificent butterfly someday; the detailed markings on this caterpillar's back say so. And, it is hungry - a true cabbage thief. Well done.

Hi Tanja.
What a nice close-up. Colour palette and tones of your wonderful picture is amazing. Rich and perfect saturated colours of well blurred BG, excellent sharpness and detail of the insect and leaf, nice composition and very expressive light. Bravo. My compliments and TFS.
