P5160155 Caterpillars Are Shy!

I spied this rapidly growing black swallowtail butterfly caterpillar munching away and quickly grabbed a shaky (no image stabilization) video with my Panasonic GX7. Of course my nose changed the focus point and the video was unusable. Decided to switch to my Olympus EM10 II with stabilization and 60 macro but the darned caterpillar went into in a trance...obviously worried about my presence.

Put the 60 macro back on the gx7 (because I could open the access to the battery and sd card while I had a quick release plate attached for my tripod)and put the 12-40 on the EM10 II and used its nearly macro capability to capture this shot. It really is a great lens!

Well, it's an excellent capture of this beautiful caterpillar. Who ever would have thought they were shy ;-).
