Default Hanging by a thread! (Macro)
There were dozens of these caterpillars going up and down using threads of silk attached to the bushes. It was very windy that day, so I image they were using the silk to avoid being blown away

This is really cool. I have never seen a caterpillar in those stunning colours before. Love this shot. Also like the fact you managed to get the silky thread in the shot too. TFS & I look forward to seeing more creepy crawlies from you.
