[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I'm not quite sure if this is what I'm saying it is. Even if it's not, it's still an interesting caterpillar. Since I started taking nature pictures this spring, I met only four diferrent species of caterpillars, all of them with rather thick "hair". If this is not the species I think it is, I would appreciate someone to ID this correctly. I found it in marshes if that's of any help.

Hello Mark,
It looks more like a typical tiger moth (Arctiidae) caterpillar to me.

Best regards,
Dmitry

Hi Mark !
I'm sorry, I can't help you with identification, but I really like this picture. The hairy caterpillar is very beautiful. Excellent sharpness and details, wonderful colors, and a beautiful composition and POV. I also like your DOF and your BG very much. Very well done !

Hello Mark,
Nice pose from your furry little friend!
Pleasant composition and good details in the insect... DOF is spot on and point of view allows for good visibility of details...
Fine natural colours!
