Cinnabar Moth Caterpillar

Hi guys !

 

It was absolutely brilliant in Aberystwyth today, so I got out for some bug hunting.. FINALLY ! :)

 

I took some money for lunch and ran up the hill by the West beach just outside of town. When I got to the top I ate my lunch and then got to searching in the bushes and on rocks for some spiders and also flies, my main targets for the day !

 

After a while, buring in the hot sun, I found a flesh eating fly. It was sitting on the spikiest bush I'd ever came across and successfully managed to hurt myself in the process of trying to catch the bugger.

 

Eventually I found a crab spider, this caterpillar, a flesh eating fly and a ladybird :)

 

I'm overall happy with this image, though there were cob webs in its hair I wasn't overwhelmed about !

 

I will also be getting a new 5x Nikon PLAN as this cheap 4x is giving me softness and CA all over the shop, and since I have some money I think I deserve it :)

 

Have a great week all, will try and get more images up soon now this weathers up !!
