ID: Caterpillar(Unaware of Specific ID)

While traversing the Nagla trail and interacting with some young nature lovers, I stumbled upon this interesting sight, initially it seems like a normal stem of a plant, probably the leaf had been eaten away by some caterpillar, but on close observation and realizing the odd position for the stem to grow, I realized that it was a caterpillar who had camouflaged itself and converted as if a stem hanging off the branch of a plant. It remained in this position for over 5-6mins(atleast till the time we had captured few frames and continued with the remaining trail)

EXIF:
Canon 550D
Canon 100mm macro

Very hard to detect unless observed very closely :-o. Good details. Thanks for sharing.

This is a nice find. Shows how interesting the macro world can be. The flash has given some highlights in the subject. Else, it would have been great. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
