Thought I had posted this here last week... This is a monarch caterpillar just out of the egg. Its first meal is the egg casing itself, then it immediately starts in on milkweed. You can see he's had quite a snack already. The second pic was taken a year or two ago, but is also a hatchling. That's a piece of uncooked elbow macaroni for reference. Both were taken with dgo and macro kit. The first also employs both macro converters. Thank you for looking. http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,161418,161418#msg-161418 Tue, 21 May 2013 04:18:55 -0700 Phorum 5.2.8 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,161418,161418#msg-161418 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?10,161418,161418#msg-161418
