Monarch caterpillars are not known for being talkative creatures. This one was especially quiet. A day earlier, it looked like Fat Albert, voraciously noshing on milkweed leaves. Crawling ten feet away from the plants, the caterpillar attached itself to the underside of a fence rail. All it would tell me is its name, 'J', giving me a look of distain as to how I would even have to ask. Male or female? No answer. 'Jack or Jill'? No response. Apparently, just 'J'. By the next morning, Jay had shed its final layer of skin to form its chrysalis to start the metamorphosis. 100mm macro lens used.

Outstanding details on the monarch-to-be and a clever narrative.

Great closeup , Thad! Never had an interview with a caterpillar. That must have been amazing. At least you found out some good information.

When fear comes to me I will stubbornly choose Faith Instead!!!!
An appropriate name for this Monarch caterpillar, Thad.
A good macro, not only because of the use of a proper lens, but because of the skills of the photographer too!

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!

Impressively detailed, illustrates again there is much worth noticing in the small world around us....

Gratitude to the Ancient Instructors "What they undertook came to pass. All things hang like a drop of dew upon a blade of grass." W.B. Yeats
Excellent shot of the J Phase Thad - will soon transform into the chrysalis stage and within 10-12 days a beautiful monarch will emerge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Outstanding light, color, composition, and focus, and the perfect photographic cliffhanger. We all know what comes next, and are looking forward to the same attention to perfection in the follow up photos.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
I love this, and your narrative was very fun and clever. tigs=^..^=

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
