Monarch larva on swamp milkweed

Not perfectly sharp and the depth of field is not what I'd like, but I made this image in the garden, with a tripod and a light, late afternoon breeze slightly moving the plants. Yes, I could've cut off the plant and moved indoors, but then my background would've been plain. We live and hopefully improve our technique as time goes by, so maybe in 2016 I'll get a perfect image! These insects can make short business of eating a leaf: they do not waste any time!
