This is a polyphemus caterpillar feeding on a willow branch. I have been finding these in a variety of different sizes lately, this one was approximately 1.5 inches in length.

Neat perspective on the caterpillar - fine three-dimensional character.

Nice magnification there, Kevin. Upside down view gives a different perspective to the frame !

Very cool angle of view adds much interest-nice contrasts as well.
