Hawk-moth Caterpillar

This is a Spurge Hawk-moth caterpillar. I took pictures with and without flash. I prefer natural light, but the colors were much richer with flash.

1/200, f/16, ISO 400, 300mm

Wonderful colors and pattern on this cat. Like the diagonal placement and the clean BG.

I think I might prefer the natural light on this one as well since you can see the flash glare. I like the colors and comp :wavey:

I love the color and detail in this image. The flash reflection isn't great, but I guess it's the price you pay for the lovely colors.
