Welcome... I love these poor guys so much... They are very amazing...!!

No it's not your fault Leanne. It's those rotten caterpillars. They are just to long and narrow, I'm trying to work out how to do one right now and same problem... might use your solution. :)

I'm giggling at you Argy, only because my lack of photography skills is the reasoning behind these shots! I couldn't get the entire caterpillar focused! I'm hopeless! ;)) Thank you Ashish, your info & help is always appreciated. Thank you.

Geometridae caterpillars known as Inch worm... Their movement in advance is very funny and make shape of scientific symbol Omega.
