Wild Silk moth (Hyalaphora Cecropia).
Elan II, 28/80-3.5/5.6, Velvia, 250D close-up filter at long end. Some kids pointed this one out while at Point Lobos, CA.

That should have repaired the submission. There was a missing close quote in the image URL.

Hi Bhaskar,

This is another nice portrait of a critter in its environment. Beautiful. Only two suggestions: (1) Get the whole caterpillar in focus (although it appears as though the right end should be in focus. Is that a motion blur?) (2) I really like how there is suspense/tension created by the hanging caterpillar. You could have created even more tension if your subject was placed just a little higher than it is.

Regards,
