It's definitely NOT the title. Not even close. "Fuzzy Wuzzy" was a bear if I'm not mistaken. I think it's a "Hairy Backbender" destined to look like "Roadkill" if it shows up near me. Nonetheless the pic is a FANTASTIC MACRO.
Thanks, Tee for identifying it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks all for looking and commenting! Muggsy...I do not even believe you for a minute. You are so kind-hearted you would not hurt a fly....{or maybe that was Norman Bates....}:)?
Hey there Mister Madman, wat'cha know that I don't know
Tell me some crazy stories, let me know who runs this show
Glassy-eyed and laughing, he turns and walks away
Tell me what made you that way
Wow..look at that color on that caterpillar! Definitley not one to stay in the background is he? Some type of camo. for an orange tree maybe? He's definitely cool!! (as long as he's outside and not crawling on my bedroom wall or something!!! )
WHAT IS MAN WITHOUT THE BEASTS? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of the spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected. ~Chief Seattle VISIT MY GALLERY
Terri, I beleive thsi is a Fritillary caterpillar they like passion flower leaf it's only food source, they don't sting. Great shot. Best wishes, Dwight.
I do like them strange critters and always do my best to protect/save them from Boris !
Terri, this is simply an AMAZING shot.
Am completely stunned and awe-struck
Terri, great job. I'm not going to comment any further because if I stay on this page, I'm afraid that I might be seeing things like this crawling outta the monitor...just TOO real :)
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Well, the main thing is that this critter will be a gorgeous butterfly one day! gorgeous colours onit..and a very kewl macro shot for you..........verena
EEEWWWW... I get these guys on my Mandevilla - in fact it's why I quit growing that plant - beautiful flowers but no matter what it would end up covered in these.
BUT - on a photogenic note - this IS a great shot of one. The ugliest of bugs still can be beautiful close up and you really got a good close-up!

Hi...again..I just wanted you to know I got this pic of yours in the VB just now and I very rarely give a TEN but I gave it to this photo, because it is gorgeous!! Congrats!! V
I think it's a "French Tickler" ... I dunno .. that may not even be a caterpillar, I've just heard the word and thought maybe it would be somethin' crawling up your neck
