Sawfly larva
Livingston Co, MI I don't have "real" macro, and I'll work on technically better shots, but I was pretty happy with this fuzzy little alien. 5DIV 100-400 4.5-5.6 II + 500D (72mm - see note below) 1/160, f/16 Eval -.3 iso 800 Tripod, natural light Comments and suggestions always welcome. Note - the lens has a 77mm filter mount/ring/whatever. When money was tighter and I had the v.1 lens, I did the math, 400mm/(f)5.6 = ~71.4, so I saved a few bucks buying the 72mm diopter and a step up/down/whatever ring - this is a roughly 50% crop, but even at 100% my amateur eye sees no vignetting or any extra distortion at the edges. Edit: Cursory internet “research” leads me to believe this is “Butternut Woolyworm”, the larva of the sawfly Eriocampa juglandis, and this indeed is its natural, unparasitized state.
