Banded tussock caterpillar (Halysidota tesselaris), #8203

Nortel Woods area. This little beauty was very busy, scuttling from weed to weed, from grass to grass. Clearly he'd no intention of staying still, unlike most caterpillars I see. Here, he is just reaching out toward another nearby stem.

Canon PowerShot SX20 IS
1/500s f/4.5 at 5.0mm iso100 full exif

Christine, this is an other fantastic image. I don't think I've seen anyone else capture the underside as beautifully and in such detail.
