Currently invading my yard, these caterpillars are known to severely defoliate host trees, gathering in such large numbers.

Odd little destroyer... wonderful capture! Shame you couldn't have kept the whole guy in focus, but the effect is nice and the head is sharp! I hope they don't cause too much damage! TFS

Cheers!

Hello Josh,
A very interesting caterpillar with some wild looking hair. I would have thought that an f/8 would have given you a little more DOF, but evidently this time it just wasn't enough.
I really like the super sharp focus on the head area, but if you could have gotten just a tad more on the body it would have made a world of differance. I love to view caterpillar photos so keep on shooting. TFS.
Ron
