SUNDAY POST: Colorful

23Feb12

I found this colorful character on a walk behind my mum’s house! I am fascinated with the colors of small bugs… The best part is when creatures like this transform into beautiful flying insects. We live in such a beautiful, colorful world!

Thanks to http://jakesprinters.wordpress.com for weekly inspirational prompts!

Nice! Going to make a nice Monarch Butterfly too. I still haven’t gotten a shot of a Monarch caterpillar that I’m entirely happy with, I’m jealous!

  Oh yes, thanks for commenting :D I searched online and was pretty sure it was a Monarch caterpillar but it is nice to know for sure. This shot was just lucky… I was walking in a field because I was waiting for my mom to come home and I just looked down and there he was! Keep trying, they can be elusive haha this guy was just lazy ;P Now butterflies, they are almost impossible!

    I’m no expert, I had to go back and look at my photos to be sure. The plant was the real give away though. I know that monarch caterpillars only eat milkweed, so I was pretty sure that is what it was.
