The fluorescent beauty

ID: Blue tiger moth caterpillar

A beautiful subject we came across while exploring some unknown path(atleast for us) along the trail, this mighty fluorescent beauty seemed to be, initially, too busy moving on munching down one leaf to other. The lighting and the position seemed to be very interesting and attempted to naturally capture the caterpillar under the sunlight. There seemed to be a mighty moth too flying high along the trees, but we couldnt manage to frame it.

Location: Tungareshwar WLS.

The reflection of the light from the leaf has created a nice effect. I feel including the leaf in full (more space on top and maybe less at the bottom)would have strengthened the composition further. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely composition of fluorescent beauty on the leaf. Very well captured :)
