Hi Courtney, it's so tiny ..... with the naked eyes I could not see the details :) Thanks for liking my little photomodel ...

Thanks Carol, it's very nice of you. I found this little one not far from the caterpillar. I am going to the tropic tomorrow, hope to see some more exotic species to share :)
