Hi Scott. Great image.

I really like Swallowtail Caterpillar. It’s my understanding they have evolved to resemble snakes to scare off other predators.

I noticed you are using an F2.8 IS lens at 1/13th of a second and F22. One of the techniques I have seen used successfully is to use fill flash to get better control of your shutter speed and aperture. It has worked well for me. It has worked well for me. I now take all my macros with a flash.

This is very interesting! Those "eyes" on the back of the caterpillar are amazing. I like the depth in the photo and the long vertical crop. Well done!

What interesting colours and patterns this fellow has Scott. Good capture, and it would be interesting to see it when the crysalis was completely formed. Well done.
