Bending Over Backwards

by Daniel Krasow

I had been watching the caterpillar slowly ravage my tomato plant over the course of a few days, one leaf at a time. Each day I’d attempt to catch him in some good light giving me a good pose. I guess I got lucky!

Equipment: Nikon D300, 60mm Micro Nikkor

Aren’t these little creatures fun to watch? They are so methodical in their pursuit. Inch by inch….your capture is just great! Your patience paid off as this is a great shot. The details and the focus are outstanding. Thank you for sharing Daniel.

Wonderful dof for a macro! A lovely worm, even if it’s a vegetable he’s eating!

Great capture! It’s always fun to watch nature at work. Curious, creative minds always find clues and inspiration for new discoveries and innovation (I wasn’t trying to rhyme but it happenend)

Very nice. The caterpillar is quite interesting indeed…but I am intrigued by the little “hairs” that appear on the leaf behind.
