[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I searched a number of websites but was unable to find a match for these. If you know the ID, please let me know and I will update the posting. These were just on the side of the road in an area which usually has good subjects for nature photography.

This is actually a composite of two photos. The caterpillar in front had eaten all the top part of his leaf, so I made a selection of the background and pasted the other image in behind him.

Hope you're having a nice weekend.
Reid

Thanks for posting. I could not find my family for todays moth picture. Now I do not feel alone. TN is like a course in identification of insects and other such nature I guess...I am slowly learning.

Well these look an awful low like caterpillars to me as well Reid. Thats my limit of knowledge. They are also clear and nicely contrasted so one of our resident genius people can tell you right? I hope so. Krzysztof or cataclysta as he goes by helped me right away with my moths. Fascinating way to see and learn. Very good picture. Ill be back to find the answer.

Hi Mr. Reid,
A nice collage of the two different shots. Nice details and both are well composed. Sorry I couldn't help you with the ID. But probably caterpillar of the blue family. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Sincerely
HP
