Natural complexity

Even though I was in the big city for ten days, I was still drawn to photograph the nature that I found there.

 

On the railing of one of the bridges over the river near my class I found this colorful caterpillar of the Gulf Fritillary butterfly on its host plant in full bloom, a Passion Vine.

 

The flowers of the Passifloraceae family are reportedly the most complex in existence.

 

I have manipulated this photo to look like an illustration for a book, similar to the previous fish photo. (I work in such a stream-of-consciousness mode that I don't record my multiple processes, so it's amazing I could achieve anything similar again!!)
