I took this I don't know how long ago with a powershot S70. Photos like this make me realize how good of a little camera than canon really was. I never could figure out what this little creature was supposed to be. I'm guessing some sort of caterpillar. Anyway, I wish him my best, although he's probably dead or a moth or something by now. f/2.8, 1/60, 6mm

Just had this thing in the VB and was curious about what it was... be I see that you don't know either.
This is a very good close up shot of this animal! Beautiful colors and great details! Great work!

Believe it or not, it's called a saddleback caterpillar & it can sting you with those spines. They then turn into the saddleback moth - makes sense I guess, huh? My screen name is Bugfanatic, but only because I've always liked Volkswagens, not 'bugs' like this caterpillar - I just got lucky I searched Yahoo images for 'green & brown caterpillar' & stumbled upon a couple of pics that looked just like this little guy.
