Greetings. Thank you for checking out my shots. I agree... I will move it last. Maybe get a shot of the adult later and up load :)

Nice shots of this interesting caterpillar. Thanks for sharing this. I would suggest moving the adult butterfly image to the last spot (as this is not your own) ad featuring the caterpillar first. Thanks.
