Peaked in High School - _TNY_8599S2

Like many moth species, the knot grass moth (Acronicta rumicis) looks somewhat pretty in adult form - but quite spectacular as caterpillars.

 

This one would have looked like this: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/50763539726/ before completeing transformation into imago form.

 

No idea on the origin of the peculiar bald spot on the thorax on this one.

 

This is two photos compiled into a single one with added depth of field using Zerene Stacker.
