Caterpillar portrait by

Close-up shot of the hairy caterpillar on plant stem which will eventually pupate and turn into a large Anthelid moth – Anthela canescens.
The caterpillar reaches a length of about 60mm.

I personally think he looks like he’s having a “bad-hair-day”.

Photo taken with Nikon D3, Nikkor 105mm f2.8 macro lens.
