Two days ago I photographed the giant silk moth caterpillar, yesterday I found his freshly spun cocoon, and today the shell was hard enough that I could safely remove it from the fabric of my folding chair. Now to find a safe place where it can spend the Winter away from sunlight, freezing temperatures, rodents, and other woodland varmints.
Shot with the Pentax K-1 and the S-M-C Takumar 50mm f:4 Macro, at about f:10.
