This large, gorgeous caterpillar was on the underside of an alder shrub. As an adult (moth), it is a rather dull gray.

Very good detail and good separations of green hues. I like the angular downward motion the picture suggests.

Sans doute qu'il n'a pas été facile à découvrir. C'est une superbe macro.

there's a dash of vertigo here....it sounds as if the caterpillar may outshine the moth..
