Looks like they are having quite a party. I count thirteen. This is an amazing shot. Do you walk around the garden with a microscope?

Stellar lighting effects achieved to bring out the larvae and texture amidst the leaves, Andrea. I always thought a canteen was either a flask type container to drink from, or a recreation hall for military servicemen: I left my heart at the Stage Door Canteen I left it there with a girl named Eileen....

Great shot but they look like they could do a lot of damage in a short time.

A fantastic photo Andrea - they are cutting right through everything - I love that you captured the line of four in a row - on the right!

Indeed it appears the whole family wanted to dine together, wonderful capture but they can devastate vegetation although my problems are with earwigs at nights crawling up younger plants and stripping them bare. Got rid of my border stones because of it. Sometimes they hide in the heads of flowers.
