    Fantastic shots, Joe!

    That's a moth caterpillar, isn't it?

    Amazing colours. Looks like it is dressed for football!

    LOL Catherine, good point, although I'm not sure how good they would be at taking penalties

    Joe, nice shots - better than the ones I got last year, so I'm jealous

    Catherine, yes it is the caterpiller of the cinnabar moth (tyria jacobaeae) which is a beautiful brilliant red and black moth.

    I am jealous Beryl, I've been looking out for the moth. He was keeping quite still so I was able to use a tripod. The first was with a 70-200mm and the second with a 105 mm macro.
