Underside of a Woolly Bear caterpillar
This is looking at the underside of a Woolly Bear caterpillar - the larva of a Tiger Moth (family Arctiini) in the order Lepidoptera, the first one I've seen this year. I found this one crossing a patch of bare ground, and I turned it over for a photo to show its bottom - head on the left and stumpy prolegs on the right. This is my photo for the Macro Mondays group, with the theme of "Bottoms Up" - HMM! (San Marcos Pass, 5 July 2017)
