Description

I took this shot at sunset, hence the golden glow to the caterpillar and the background.  I underexposed by a stop, shooting at f/5.6, 1/30 on Kodak Elitechrome 100 ISO colour positive film at full zoom and closest focus on my Sigma 70-300mm apochromatic zoom lens and my Nikon 5T close-up filter.

I do not know the specific genus or species of this caterpillar, but it is of the Lepidoptera order.  For more information on bugs of the U.S and Canada, visit http://bugguide.net/node/view/11806.
