[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Altough I think this is not an insect (yet..), this strange caterpillar with a lenght of two centimeters, that I found in my backyard and seems very confortable in the back of a palm leaf, stay for all the day in complete imobility.
I liked the very strange head that apears like two and the devided tail..
I don't know anythibg about it, I'm trying to identify the caterpillar but I can't yet..
anyway I liked it...
I did a crop and a little PP to enhance the bodythat was almost invisible..

Hello Tabajara,

This is a very cool horizontal image of this strange looking caterpillar. The lighting is well balanced on this one. The textures show up very well. :)

Hello Taba!
I agree with you in 100% - this Lepidoptera catepillar is amazing! I have never seen anything like it :)
Anyway, unfortunatelly I can not say anything more even about family of this species (Noctuidae???)
According to picture I have to say that here we have a very nice macro with good details, interesting POV (thanks to this POV catepillar seems really interesting), and good details.
TFS and best greetings from Poland,
Radomir

Bonsoir Tabajara
Belle prise de vue avec cette superbe chenille, Félicitations pour l'expositions et les belles couleurs ainsi que le très joli BG et les jolis détails.

Merci et au revoir...JP

hello Taba
Belle découverte, belle chenille : BRAVO
Laurent

It looks like a newly hatched Owl Butterfly Caterpillar. Very strange looking beast.

hi Tabajara,
étrange insect pour une prise de vue excellente. On différencie à peine la feuille du sujet. Très bons détails et bonne maîtrise de la lumière.

Hello Taba,
What a strange and wonderful shape. It is always exciting to find something unknown, and then perhaps be able to identify it with the help of other members on TN. So I hope you will be sucessful.
Best regards
Anne

hi there,

i can understand your excitement...even i had found a a very pretty catterpillar and didn't know it did a lot of reseach and still didn't find untill a member of TN found the ID...so since you have uploaded it just hope someone will id it..
but it will help to write in your note where you shot it which place etc etc...for anyone to id it.

a very good shot and POV.

Hi Tabajara,
Really cool caterpillar. I like it very much. Perfect details, exposure, colours and composition.
TFS, José M.

Olá Taba

Bela captura deste inseto esquisito mas... simpático.
Gosto da composição, de como ele se alinha com a folha; boas cores também. Parabéns!

Abraços,
Vera.

Hi Taba

What an interesting shot - very strong horizontal elements - which make the head tail and segment markings stand out very clearly. Great depth of colour also.

James

hola Taba,
Muy bonita oruga, verdaderamente extraña y desconocida para mi. Me gusta el foco y la definición asi como el formato alargado.
Buen trabajo, amigo

Grande Taba! Que olhos você têm! Achar um trequinho desses aí camuflado não é para qualquer um! Muito bonita a composição horizontal, com belo corte. A textura da folha no fundo é tão bonita quanto o bicho!
Abraço,
Zeca

Olá Tabajara,
I liked the horizontal lines and the panoramic crop. The exposure and the colors very nice. You have taken the photo under soft light. It looks like a Long Vehicle :)

TFS,
Ahmet

Uma bela foto boa nitidez ,esta exelente ,essa foto, vai ser uma futura borboleta. Uma boa Pascoa.
Abraços Nilson

Bonjour,
voilà une photo dont la compo et très intéressante ... manque un poil de netteté ... mais ceci et dû surement à la compression ....

Excelente enfoque y muy buena presentación

Dear Tabajara,
this is a cool lepidopteran larva, truly strange looking. Your photographic technique is perfect, the composition too. Like Radomir I am unable to help naming the species. the only caterpillar remotely looking like this in Europe is Charaxes, a Nymphalid. Thanks for presenting it.
Best regards,
Dietrich

Olá Taba,
Simplesmente sensacional. Registro de excelente qualidade, dessa belíssima e exótica lagarta. O formato da foto em faixa horizontal valorizou o conteúdo; parabéns também pela criatividade.
Abraços,
José Roberto Peruca

very strange, indeed.
great colors and lovely lines...i wish you had'nt kept him along the central line...1/3rd up or down would have been a stronger compo.

great shot anyways!!!
