Thank you so much Carol, its very nice of you. There are a lot of talented photographers here though, and besides, I always thought they favored black and whites :)

Wowzer what a discovery, and in good lighting. I like the sense of texture and touch in this one. It feels more real than some macros because it's grounded in texture.

Congratulations John. You won the prize! Unfortunately I dont know what the prize is. Yes I just looked it up, you nailed it. The moth is very interesting as well. Thank you for your clarification, and your kind words. You see that night course on moths really paid off. Im thinking of upping another shot focusing on his horrific face more. Check it out. Thanks again for your input. Alan.

Try number 3 Alan its a Polyphemus Moth. Id give you the url but it keeps dropping my post. you can find it on google. By the way your image is far and away more superior than any of it Ive noted on the web so far. - JB

Yes it looks similar to a luna moth pillar, but different head and feet structure to the ones Ive seen online, but its as good a guess as any. The biggest cattepillar Ive seen. Thanks for your kind words.

Sorry, no clue about the species. however, I don't think you could have planned a better colour contrast. This is a great shot.
