p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Buff Ermine Moth Spilosium luteum Larva


My wife drew my attention to this caterpillar, which was on the compost, in a flowerpot containing a foxglove plant. I shot frames with my Printing Nikkor 105mm at f11 and also with my Kiron 105mm at f11 and f16. TTL twin flash was used, the camera in manual mode.

The larva had two speeds: stop and full speed. Getting close-up shots when it was on the move was very difficult. Backgrounds/substrates were a foxglove leaf, concrete or outdoor matting.

The first four images were through the Nikkor, the others through the Kiron. All were hand-held.

Thanks, Brian.

With some exceptions, the PP was minimal. There is quite a lot of pixel overload off the shiny setae but there is not much I could do about it.

Wonderful set Harold. I did enjoy them all, but especially enjoyed 5,6 and 9.

Thanks, Birdie

Yes, the concrete background was an inspired choice. OK, I dropped the caterpillar and that it were it fell.

I was able to get solid support for my hands and motion from wind was not an issue.
