Buff tip nest

From Germany.

 

The only other macrolepidopteran caterpillars I found yesterday: a buff-tip (Phalera bucephala Linnaeus, 1758, Notodontidae) nest on oak. These caterpillars were certainly shot a thousand times before, but I thought contributing another photo was adequate to their nice appearance.

 

Canon EOS 5DIII, Canon EF100mm, natural afternoon light + Canon Twin Lite MT-24EX

manipulated field shot (caterpillars became slightly vigilant), 1/40 sec, ƒ/14, ISO 800
