I had relatives in town for the weekend so my catapillar box was set off to the side, I was so busy I had forgotten about it. Monday morning there was brief quiet spell and I heard what turned out to be a butterfly beating its wings on the side of my box. It was too fast for me to get any pictures of the butterfly but I have managed to find a few more cats in various stages. I knew there was a big difference in the size and looks of them in the 5 instar stages but website pictures fail to show it well. So I broke out my macro and close up lenses, stacked them together so I could get some serious close up shots. I had no idea the 1st instar was such a tiny lil thing. Check out these pics and tell me what you think. |
