Who would thought that this odd looking larva would transform to a lovely butterfly in a few days? It's hair and spines serves as it's defense from predators, hot or dry weather conditions and can cause skin irritations to humans. We all know that they're like "eating machines" which sometimes cause damages to farmlands, but what can they do? Everyone needs to eat...or we won't have butterflies to capture at all haha.This is posted for Camera Critters!

Wonderful shot and Iove the title ... Ups and Downs! Clever! Happy Critter Day! (Love your Pooh quote.)
I like the way you have caught the light in his hairs.
That is a very sexy and beautiful larva. Yes there's nothing that says it can become a butterfly because it might be eaten by someone. But if it's that hairy it has more percentage of hope!
Oh yes those hairs looks itchy too. Great shot Al.

What a sweet looking little caterpillar. You're right Al, they can't help it if they are eating machines. It takes a lot of energy to become a beautiful butterfly. :)
Very nice macro shot.
Regards and best wishes
That's incredible shot, what a beautiful butterfly it would be when it transform.
I love its macro, and the "hairy" part. Nice shot!
