Cinnabar Caterpillar

Nice bright warning colours

Fantastic shots, Joe!

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

Amazing colours. Looks like it is dressed for football!:D

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 :-doh

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

Yes very nice capture Joe.
Here is the Moth of your caterpillar

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.
