Woolly bear feet (pseudopods)

Stephen Begin photographed the feet or more correctly, pseudopods of this caterpillar because as he says "I wanted to see why some caterpillars seem to be able to walk up glass (like this one) and some can't." Pseudopod, as you probably know, means "fake foot"! They enable the caterpillar to grasp onto things in a way that many other creatures can not.
