You can almost see it moving around - great shots Mayra ! A truly amazing specimen.
it's like a dance! Very nice!
Megalopygidae, most probably Podalia sp. http://www.flickr.com/photos/12490221@N04/4351833714 http://www.flickr.com/photos/83193914@N00/8669344303 http://www.flickr.com/photos/12490221@N04/8591971555 http://www.flickr.com/photos/41580667@N02/8448663014 http://www.flickr.com/photos/12490221@N04/4351085799
Looks like being a Podalia sp. or Megalopyge sp., I will try to get a little bit closer, when I find the time...
Really nice series Mayra! Looks urticating....
So far is my favorite spot this year it remain me those fiver optic lamps in the 80´s that glows in the tip :)
has to be one of the weirdest creatures I' have ever seen... ever.
I look at it and still can believe it is amazing Mayra :)
Amazing. I have never seen anything like that either.
brilliant photos, especially number two where you can really see the soft fleshy part and its feet!
Essa queima bem ! Os caiçaras do sul de SP chamam de "embira". Bela foto!
