Description

Nikon 7900 image. A few days ago, I posted an image of a "White-marked Tussock Moth Caterpillar" which is noticably similar to this one in body construction but not colors. Unfortunately, I do not known which species of Tussock Moth this caterpillar will become but they all look rather made-up, lol. They have proven to be a hard critter to capture because they move fast and even when sitting still, parts of them still seem to move, lol. That makes getting a sharp focus on the hairs a real challenge. Thanks to all who take the time to comment. I enjoy the feedback. Lee
