Photo Adventures with Curiosity and Learning

I was late this morning because last night I came here to test for UV illuminated insects (mostly scorpions). I round none - so here I am. And a group from the Singapore Nature Photo group are already hard at work. One found this caterpillar - a really amazing colorful creature. Feathers around the perimeters and so many interesting features.

Her face - it must be a female to have such warm colors

Another view of the face

Closer

Then she decided to look underneath the leaf

Here she is hunting

Nother look at her face

From the side

And from behind

Close by was an Argyrodes and you can see the reflection of the sky on her highly polished abdomen

Here she is haravesting silk

A dew drop - and image of a leaf

Another view

A clear view of the leaf image, refracted by the dew drop

Another view

A skipper sunning herself

From the other side

And a fly watching
