Description

A tiny caterpillar of some sort hanging from one of my oak trees, taken earlier in the spring when the oaks were just starting to leaf out. Thanks very kindly for your recent views and comments and for looking at this one, much appreciated.

Recognized the thread as soon as I zoomed. Like your series of four shots! Wonder if one of your favorite birds had him "over" for lunch:)

This is amazing. My daughter would love this. Her class recently did a project where they 'raised' a bunch of catepillars and watched them turn into butterflies. They were 'painted ladies' according to my daughter. Wonderful details in this montage.

Fine sequence of captures, Maria. What a strange caterpillar, all albino like that and hanging by a thread, like the Sword of Damocles.

He's probably going to eat lots of those oak leaves if he escapes your well-fed birds, which he might! Good luck little guy!

Hope he manages to get all wound up before some bird takes him for tea, lets hope he/she makes it all the way. Excellent captures and presentation Maria Bravo!!!!! I have also posted a caterpillar today.
