And now for something completely somewhat just a little different…
Twice over the past week, Joan alerted me to the presence of interesting caterpillars in the neighborhood.
Of course, as a husband photographer who wants to keep on the good side of my wife chief wildlife spotter, I came promptly with my camera sporting a 90 mm macro lens with a 32 mm extension tube in both cases. Off camera flash was also used in both cases, flash with softbox, set to 1-2 stops under ambient, and lying on the ground nearby.
Both of these “fellows” were found literally with in feet of our front doors… the brown furry “guy” at our “camp” in NH over Labor Day weekend and the multicolored “guy” at the house yesterday.
I have no idea on their identities, but here are the photos:

Is there any creature sacred from the wiles of your photographic genius? These are as impressive as the damsel flies! The colors on the fourth one are beautiful. However, I am a little disappointed their species have not been identified 🙂

Promptly, maybe, but with a lot of moaning and groaning!
