Camo Obviously Working - _TNY_6058
So I found this caterpillar of the scarce umber (Agriopis aurantiaria) about a meter and a half (5') up in a birch and was setting up a portrait shot and was just about to pull (push?) the trigger when an bright green aphid came walking along the same twig and didn't notice there was a caterpillar there and treated it like it was just part of the twig and walked all over it!
Now I was just a little too late to get all of the aphid in focus, but I think the end result turned out really nice anyway.
For a shot showing the entire caterpillar, plus the bunch of eggs some sort of parasite had laid on the side of it, go here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/50062268931/
