The resting place

Have you seen this brown caterpillar with black spots and hairs before? Do they adapt to changes in climate/weather or is this their only real color?

I found this one in my farm while spraying chemicals to kill grasses. There were many insects there but this one seems special to me and it caught my attention.

While I was younger, I used to get confused among caterpillar, centipede and millipede. I just never knew then, so I used to refer all of them as millipede especially the second one. That could probably be because I often come across the last in my environment more than others.

Anyway, back the crust of the matter. I had a bit challenge getting this dude steady for good shots. Dude was hovering around finding the best spot to relax. Probably a camouflage place to rest and hide. I'm pretty sure he had been fed up now about to take a nap.

Well, I am a patient dude so I was following it up. I changed my positions as well just to get good shots with my smartphone.

Finally, the insect settles at a spot. I took a great deal of shots. Some were good while so were blurred.

Beautiful photography.....

Thank you! I liked what I saw. I thought it would be nice to capture the moment along with the creature and share.

You didn't not give up on the dude 😎😂😂, a patient dog you are..lolz
See shots nah...you captured the dude well with different positions.
With the look of things, the dude is feeding well...freshness.

Hope you didn't touch it with your hands !?

Nah, giving up is not part of my agenda😄
Yeh, I am trying to learn the art of photography. Lol, I'm still a novice in that field.
Ahswer, the dude is feeding well more than some people sef. But that's life sha.

Nop, I didn't. I had rather touch butter fly than that😄
