I really don’t know what this little fuzzy guy is but I found him fascinating. I know it’s some sort of worm or caterpillar, but check out his horns. He has black hair on his head and butt in shape of horns.
And he wiggles lots! Tons of tiny little legs with kinda suction cup feet. He scurries quickly, here and there and makes my head spin.
Can you see the ridge of longer hair along his back, starting about midway, and getting longer as nearing the butt? Notice how his head tucks in and pops out as he moves.
In fact that last group of hairs along the ridge almost remind me of a tail. And I think he’s wagging it at us.
Hi!
And he’s off again. I hope he enjoyed his little portrait session. Sometimes I wish my macro was more zoomy, but I think you’ll understand when you see this.
That’s my finger, and yes I took the photo one handed, but you see how little he is? Simply amazing, or I thought he was. I like how you can see some of the little ‘hairs’ on the leaf.
Released, back into the wild. Bye!
What a cutie...makes me wonder why some are fuzzier than others....
ReplyDeleteWow! He is tiny. I haven't seen one that little. Glad you threw in the finger pic to show us the size. Oh, and what's wrong with my son with a creepy big mouth? ;0) Hehe!
ReplyDeleteHe's cool!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Looking at your post, I was wishing I had a "more zoomy" lens! What size is that lens?
ReplyDeleteTHese are the ones you do that freak me out. I get the willies.
ReplyDeleteWOW - fantastic as always!!
ReplyDeleteBTW - My brother takes the other half of the cow carcass!! (hee hee)
Reminds me of little old men, when their eyebrows grow crazy and big.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing that under a macro lens some little critters, like this guy, are so cute? In the last picture he reminds me of a little Yorkie! Fantastic shots.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it something how some caterpillars are creepy, but that little guy could claim pet status with his cuteness?
ReplyDeleteI loved your incredibly detailed photos, and the accompanying story. :)
He looks like a fur animal, they should customize him and make some kind of kid's toy of him!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I've never seen anything like it! It looks like a mix breed between a brush and a teenager hairstyle! *giggles*
ReplyDelete... only much more cute!
Your photos is so wonderful. I'm full of envy. Green actually ;-)
I love him! I have some photos of the same kind of caterpillar, but he was bigger. Maybe and inch and a half long and much thicker. Very cool buggy! The photos are great!
ReplyDeleteOOHh he is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know how you always just amaze me..well you know what i thought after i got thru reading this one???
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful little childrens book this post would make!!!!!!!!! He's so cute and fury and I love how you wrote it!!!!!
oohh and by the way lovely nails!!!
What a delightful series of narrated photos of your ‘fuzzy-wuzzy’ discovery. I’m sooooo happy you’ve decided to participate in Camera Critters so everyone knows about your amazing photographic studies.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Now that is cute!! :-)
ReplyDeleteVery cool little guy!
ReplyDeleteWhat great macro shots!
ReplyDeleteHe does look like he has horns. Funny little guy.
your camera and your talent is amazing....he is almost cuddly looking!
ReplyDeletehave you entered into the NG contest yet?
Unbelievable shots! Can't believe how sharp and clear they are of the cute little guy! Wonderful CC post!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Yes he/she is very pretty and amazing! I still have not tried the macro lense, I don't get time to drag it out!
ReplyDeleteNow as for your question about the bird on my post the other day, I could not for the life of me remember what it was called. But thought it was in Ibis. I thought no-one would notice (except maybe you, LOL, yes you were the only one who asked!) I called in the reinforcements, this time, Peter from Holties House, and he says........
"G'day Karisma, the bird in your photo is a Sacred Ibis ( I think sometimes mistakenly called Cattle Egret... which has a straight bill) they have become a scavenger of dumps and parklands." (They also harass Sydney siders for chips or just steal them when you are not looking!)
So there you have it, I was close! LOL! Many thanks to Peter, Karisma hangs her head in shame for not knowing her birds! Ha ha!
I think that's the first time in my life that I find an insect cute !!
ReplyDeleteYou've won me over , just so very cute.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had lashes like that!
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought someone had sneaked in and taken a picture of me just as I woke up...Great photos, as usual.
ReplyDeleteNo, I've not forgotten to send you a 'garage gift.' It's just been a decibel above CHAOTIC at my house lately.
Beautiful, Lisa. I wish I could take photos like that. Fly (or creep, or crawl) free, little guy. I enjoyed your photo session!
ReplyDeleteOften I come over here and lurk and go away smiling but not saying anything.
ReplyDeleteToday's little guy is just so adorable tho Lisa. He really is a darling and who wouldn't want him as a pet maybe?
So tiny - so cute! So determined!
Simply fantastic photos Lisa. You are one of the reasons I had The Man buy us a better camera. Nothing like yours of course but I just wanted the chance to take some nicer pictures because of your inspiration. Thank you.
wow, he was actually cute! hehe!
ReplyDeleteneat neat neat except on m,y flowers hahah Sandy
ReplyDeleteFantastic macros! Excellent shots, Lisa! Love the colors in the last one!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Klaus
Beautiful! He's a fuzzy fella. BJ
ReplyDeleteHe's a cute little thing. I'm glad you took the picture with your finger so we could see just how little.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! That fuzzy creature looks soooo fluffy and cute! But I bet he'll give me an itch if he crawls all over me! (shivers)
ReplyDeleteHere kitty kitty ? NO?? I think it would make a bird cough to eat those fuzzy hairy things. Great shooting.
ReplyDeleteAwesome captures of that cool looking caterpillar!
ReplyDeletei love all your pictures, the birds and the wooley worm and such.. just have time for the one comment.. have a great day!
ReplyDeleteAmazing macro shots of the fuzzy caterpillar! Wonderful post!
