Found some very small (1/2") Promethea Silkmoth (Callosamia promethea) caterpillars in one of our Tulip Trees yesterday. Took this shot this afternoon.

If you recall, we had the adult moths here last year.

No attempt at camouflage in these attractive caterpillars.

Great macro image. Really like the details and colors, not only of the caterpillars, but also the leaf.
