I remember this one! It looks so attractively set on the leaves. V.

Blending in is a big part of nature. Such a nice macro image!

How you spot all these different things is truly a skill. I wonder if you were a bird in a previous life. ;-)

My, these caterpillars sure blend in. Must be hard to spot. Two excellent macro images Christine.
